End mill sharpening, again...
Have a customer that has a large pile of end mills needing sharpening.
Mostly HSS, but some carbide. We're in northern California, half an hour north of Sacramento. Anyone know of a competent shop between say, Reno and the SF Bay Area they'd care to recommend? They're about to send a batch to a local shop that deals mostly with saw blades, circular and lumber mill type. At one time they didn't do end mills, and I wasn't aware that they do now. So I stopped by today to ask some questions. The guy that does the grinding came out, and soon as I started asking questions, gets -very- evasive, mumbling, can't remember the brand of grinder they use, mumbles about how complex the geometry is, and worst of all, bows his head and covers his eyes while doing his best to not really answer my questions. I have very strong reservations about these guys being able to do even a half way decent job. As for my customer sharpening mills, they just use their mill to modify parts as needed. They do automation, and sometimes things just need to be tweaked and modified a bit. Under size cutters are not an issue for them. Jon |
