How do you guys sharpen your end mills?

Tool & cutter grinder?
Endmill fixture on a surface grinder?
Dedicated endmill sharpener?

4 days till I go pick up my Bridgeport.

I did this a number of years ago. I have a couple of fixtures that
make it possible to do
right on the Bridgeport.

I don't do it anymore. I stopped buying HSS endmills, and use some
solid carbide,
some indexable carbide arbors, and M42 Cobalt cutters. These only
cost cents more than plain HSS, and last at least 3-4 X longer.
1/8" solid carbide end mills can be had in packs of 10 or 12 for
about $4 now. (Maybe this has gone up lately, I haven't bought any
since last year.) For heavy stock removal, the indexable carbide
arbors are totally amazing, they shower the room with chips, and you
just rotate the inserts when dull.
