Nice! I'd love to get one of those all in one cnc sharpeners for the
shop.

Wait until you see _Modern Machine Shop_ in June. There's a cutter
grinder in there that dreams are made of. $800,000, but man, oh man.
It will grind logarithmic reliefs on your gear hobs, from both sides
at once d8-)


Those kind of machines are a good part of reason why commodity cutting tools
are so cheap when you subtract raw materials cost

We had a couple of 9axis huffmann at the lazy B back in the day; mostly, we
used them for semi-production regrinds of carbide endmills so they were
grossly under-utilized IMO

Anyways, if you get a chance, take a look at some of his other videos--a
exceptionally creative individual whom I'd hire in an instant if he came
knocking.
