It looks intersting, but I can't seem to find prices anywhere.
(And, it won't handle some of the end mills which I use -- up to 1"
shanks. :-(

Enjoy,
DoN.

I assumed that once someone was at the home page they would see the button
labeled "acute sharpening system" and know what to do with it.

You never know. :-)

I knew when I was typing the word "assumed" that I was asking for trouble
:-).

Since his
problem was that he couldn't get there I thought a simpler URL would be
more
help than trying to diagnose possible failures in the long one. Anyway,
on
the home page there's another button labeled "shop", click that and then
click the link to the acute sharpening system and you will see the prices
for the plans, parts kit, and completed units.

I went to the "Shop" section, and did not see the prices.
Perhaps it needs Javascript enabled. I keep it disabled most of the
time.

I probably won't go back, since it will not handle my larger end
mills. A larger scale version might be worth my while.

Enjoy,
DoN.

The drawings in a spiral bound notebook format are $35 and the parts kit is
$250, both USD. Apparently he plans to include an instructional DVD that it
isn't ready yet but will ship for just the shipping cost to anyone who buys
plans or kit whenever it is done. Perhaps you could just substitute a 5C
collet holder block for his 16 mm size? Or whatever size you need. He does
have a demo video on youtube that should be reachable even if his site
isn't: https://youtu.be/bzEQCvE1cIk
