I'd make you buy a surface grinder and a sine vise. But you might never talk
to me again...

One can get spoiled by the tools that are available sometimes.

More seriously, look into something like a "Tinker" cutter grinder jig from
our friend Mr Lautard. Dedicate a decent straight cup wheel to tool grinding
and don't quench HSS.
