Who sharpens pen mills?

[angboy]

I always forget and have to ask, but who is it that you can mail your pen mills to for sharpening? Mine are in desperate need of it...

Not sure who you can send them to, but with a small credit card diamond hone they aren't hard to diy sharpen. You sharpen them like router bits, check youtube if you are unsure.

Paul Huffman in Oklahoma City. Not sure he still offers that service.

Check the article in the library in the general references list.

Paul was who I was thinking of, thanks Don! I'll check with him and if not, will try the DIY option suggested above.

I use the same diamond stone that I use to hone my skew.

If there are machine shops in your area you can ask where they send their milling cutters to for sharpening. Chances are there is a local place that can do the work.

There is not always a good local place. Many shops send what they do sharpen out to have done. That said, I do still sharpen pen mills, HSS or carbide. Better price if you have several at one time. Shoot me a PM if interested.
