I've got a number of square-end end mills that have chipped corners. I'm planning to make an end mill sharpening jig similar to Harold Hall's but also want to extend the life of the end mills. I've read that rounding the corners of an end mill can extend their life, but I'm not sure how to do it and not screw up the cutting action. I also think it would be difficult to avoid a situation where only one of the flutes is cutting, if rounding by hand. Does anyone have any hints on how to do this?
