Has anyone used or had any experience with the A. K. Tooling Co. end mill sharpening fixture which is used in conjunction with a surface grinder?
See their website: https//aktooling.com
It seems that they only ship within the USA so I guess I am out of luck being in Toronto, Canada.
End Mill Sharpening Fixture
Re: End Mill Sharpening Fixture
An alternate suggestion is a Poly-Choke PC-101. Unfortunately they appear to be no longer made, but there is one on listed on e-bay. The asking price is a bit much, but it is e-bay where everything you need is over-priced.

What is different about the polychoke is the eccentric bushing that allows "backoff" that is not apparent on the A K Tooling item.
I have used the Poly-Choke that I found at an estate sale, and it does a great job on mills and drills.

Re: End Mill Sharpening Fixture
Have any of you PolyChoke owners found a manual for it? I have one but haven't used it because of the time it would take to figure out how to use it properly.
Re: End Mill Sharpening Fixture
The one I found is reasonably accurate. My older unit doesn't have all the markings mentioned, but it is easy to interpolate.
The PDF is 3.4 megs in size so it can't be transferred on this website.
Send me a PM with an address and I will send the entire PDF.
Not only johnfreese, but anyone else who needs a copy. The price is right. I searched for the BMC tool company and this tool, with no luck.
