Iggi -

I'd go in on say 10 pounds of it and pay say $25 for them.
That is 1/30 weight and 1/3 of the price. They being rolled
in paper or such and packed in a box so they don't grind or shave
each other.

Someone is offering me a lot of appx. 300 lbs of used HSS endmills,
which are neatly sorted by size and need resharpening, for $75.

Let's say that I had an end mill sharpener like a Darex V90 or
whatever. Realistically, how long does it take to resharpen an end
mill (I would hire someone) and how much can I get per dozen of
"professionally" sharpened end mills, say in 1/4" size.

We figure the cost of tooling into every job and the saving usually aren't
worth the chance of ruining or reworking a part. I can't remember using an
end mill larger than 1/2", anything larger is indexable. They used to be
expensive and resharpening them was common. No more! But, if I "fell" into
a good sharpener, I'd do them for in-house use. I'd say used, sharpened end
mills @1/4" are worth maybe $10/dz.



Thanks, nice and solid number, something to work with. I would be
unlikely to do anything those used endmills. Sweeping floors at
Burger King would probably be more profitable. I could buy and scrap
them for a quick buck though.
