How does one go about sharpening an end mill? Any web pages on how to
do it? At the last place I worked I noticed a mobile sharpening service
van lurking around the model shop door once a week -- is this something
that even the pros routinely farm out?

And finally -- how do I, the home machinist with a need to sharpen one
or two end mills a year, go about getting them sharpened? Do I just
need to make friends with a machinist, are there places I can drop them
off? Buy resharpened ones? Where? Buy new ones from McMaster and
throw the old ones out?

Thanks.
