For that you'd want a tool & cutter grinder, not a surface grinder.

I've sharpened old taps and the cutter head of my woodworking jointer
between centers on my surface grinder. The setup is very simple, two
dead centers to hold the work and a piece of broken hacksaw blade
fixed up to support the flute being sharpened. The difficulty is in
setting it all up precisely, which really depends on what you have to
work with.

Advanced Machine Work from Lindsay has a good section on cutter
grinding.
