Finally got around to this project, using the 4th axis for endmill sharpening.
The program I made worked great but the Dremel points are crap.
They wouldn't last for more than a couple endmills.
May try some diamond points but probably not.
I need to make an adapter for a cup wheel to mount in the spindle.
Need it to sharpen the ends, so I might as well just use it for sharpening it all.
The Darex we use at work uses a cup wheel. Get one for only about $1500 on Ebay.
My tilting head will make cutting the primary and secondary angles easy.
Had plans to make my own setup like the Darex with this fixture and a bench grinder
but oh well.
Maybe sometime.
Check out the little video.

Nice setup! I can't wait to get my machine finished. What program did you use with that? I'm tired of buying new endmill sets when they get dull. P.S. I just got my Stop block, set and my Z Axis Mount with Pulley set too. I must say that the quality of your products is excellent, and well worth the meager pittance you ask in return!  HighHat

Happy to hear you like the parts!
The program I used was Notepad.
I wrote a really simple little program but need to modify it to work
with the cup wheel I plan to use from now on, the Dremel points don't last.
