I know there are, and I'm hoping not everyone here is throwing away dull
end mills. Someone must be able to recommend someone....

As for distance, it's not my decision where to send them, and I am
pretty certain the customer doesn't want to ship cross country.

So, you know of anyone in SoCal you'd care to recommend?

As for me, I happen to have a pretty decent collection of end mills that
could use some freshening. Considering the scarcity of tooling suppliers
down under, I sure would like to get them touched up.
Or buy plans for a Quorn... G

I'll ship mine anywhere in the US, so that should open things up some.
Yes, yes, I know, I can google shops. But having had a couple shops do a
poor job and charge me richly for the work, I'd much prefer to deal with
a shop someone knows does good work.

ask Jim for the phone number of the tool grinder who shares a corner of
his shop. Black guy and he appears to be pretty damned good.
