MSC end mill and cutter sharpening fixture

[RobonthemoorParticipant @robonthemoor]

Just bought a MSC end mill and cutter sharpening fixture, from MSC, anyone got one,? Or if you know of a review on utube could you send me the link. What do you think of the tool? They are for use with a surface grinder.

There is another one for use on a surface grinder that does ends only.

Here is the J&L MSC link. **LINK**

It takes 5C collets but the picture is a bit confusing as it's photographed on it's side. Basically it's a collet holder with 12 positions for 2,3, 4, and 6 tooth cutters and has two angles on the base.

One angle, the steepest is to do the secondary clearance angles and the shallow one is for the primary cutting angles.

I bought one and the problem with it is setting these up because the collet tightens from underneath via a nut and pin spanner meaning you have to keep mounting these and resetting them to make sure that the lands are square on to the wheel.

I redesigned mine to take ER32 collets. This makes it better in that it's not as tall and can get in under the wheel on smaller grinders plus the cutter can be altered / changed from the top, making it a lot easier to use.

The good news is you don't have to buy an expensive attachment them modify it because I sold the design to Ketan at ARC for £2.00 [ still unpaid ] and he's now selling them cheaper than the J&L one.
