Not sure about the tool grinder comments. I actually recently
acquired one
(as a project for free) that I am fixing up. I haven't decided if I
paid to
much for it yet or not, but I've gotten decent at grinding tool bits
by hand
with the bench grinder, finishing on the belt sander, and touching
up with a
hone. My current radius bit that I use all the time was hand
ground. I'm
no great tool grinder, but if I take my time and take steps to due
it right
they come out ok. After I slowed down and did a few properly it
started
getting faster too.


For example if you find and use a roller box tool the angle of the
shoulder at the end of the cut will be determined by the shape of the
bit instead of the motion of the crossfeed.
