I am slightly confused. Please forgive me. Are "tool and cutter
grinders" used to sharpen spiral fluted endmills?

Those, straight fluted ones, reamers, conventional mills
(wheels) and all kinds of other things.

They can also be used to profile a conventional mill to product
a specific shape and angle should you need to do a lot of parts. It
saves you having to set up the workpiece at a strange angle each time.

I wish that I had one. :-)

Enjoy,
