More seriously, look into something like a "Tinker" cutter grinder jig from

I replaced the disk on a $49.95 one of these;

with a home-made pulley plus 1-1/4" arbor that takes an Enco face
wheel for a Baldor-clone tool grinder. The tilting table is too
flexible for serious rough grinding but adequate to finish the edges.
