The tooling took a major leap in price on ebay in the last year.

Unless you get a great deal on a tool/cutter grinder. I mean, I just bought a good, 1/2" x 2" LOC, carbide end mill for $30 from Enco. OSG HSS end mills are under $20. I would imagine it might cost that or more to send them off for regrinding, or have the cost of owning the machine and tooling to do it yourself.
I am not at this time trying to sharpen the periphery, the airbearing fixture has the capability but I am working on the end of the tools as of yet.

8,031. Nov 5, 2012. #2. That fixture is only for sharpening the end of the end mill. It is an attachment for a surface grinder. The flutes require a fixture that allows the end mill to twist along the spiral edge of the flutes, with a small finger tracing the helix. There are also two angles involved there as well.
Anyway, the end mill grinding fixture holds the cutter in two possible positions. When set on its flat base, it holds the cutter at about 15 degrees in one plane, and at about 5 degrees in the other. This is the position you use for the primary relief, and it sharpens the cutting edge. it also applies about 5 degrees tilt, so the radial edge of ...

I have been researching drill bit and end mill sharpening off an on for a year. I have seen every piece of advice from "just buy new ones" to hand sharpening to various machines. I have a complete understanding of how it's done, but no practical skills with much more than occasional drill sharpening by hand with a bench grinder.
I have a really nice air bearing setup for grinding the flutes on end mills and it can be setup to also sharpen the ends of the end mills but is a lot more work than a dedicated fixture for this purpose.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I do what Harold says. Most of the time I'm using the end of the cutter (the 1st 20 to 60 thouhs) and when that gets dull, I simply use the bench grinder to hand sharpen the end; grind it back & put the reliefs on (without reducing the diameter). For end mills 1/2" in diameter & greater, this works well.

186. The key think you want is the ability to move fairly rapidly and smoothly, to a preset stop. This is for using a cup wheel for the end grind anyway.
