    Build Pictures for End Mill Sharpening

    Here are the build pictures. Of special note is the last picture. This shows the method of alignment of the flutes.
    The gage on the side of the adjustment block is used on one flute to align the surface for grinding.
    After this alignment the collet block is moved forward until it hits the stop. The adjuster is then turned
    to allow the end of the flute to contact the grinding wheel. Take small cuts and cut each flute in turn.
    If it is not completely sharp on all the flute ends then advance the adjuster just a bit and cut more from
    each end until completely sharpened on all ends. The process is quite fast.
