See, drum switches are dangerous. Without them, we would be able to leave our keys in our chucks, but nooo.
Back on topic, today I was doing a heavy removal job making big chunk of CR square bar into channel stock. I really wanted to make the channel with a full-width cut, and I only have HSS in that size. I wasn't happy with the finish, to I resharpened the face of the end mill using my Sheckel D-bit grinder in three easy steps: Primary relief, secondary relief, and gash. Ten minutes later, I was back at it and getting a much better finish in that fussy cold-rolled. I started thinking about skills to develop, and I gotta say, sharpening stuff is a great skill to have. It's turning my small stash of cutting tools into a lifetime supply. My modest Deckel clone can actually do a lot, but the more I learn about tool and cutter making, the more I'm able to make use of the belt sander in freehand too. It's a rewarding rabbithole.
This is a great primer for those of us running a one man shop:
