I see a lot of manual T&C grinders available without attachments. The attachments are where the money and flexibility are at.
I have a Darex E90 endmill sharpener I picked up about 3 years ago for $450. It works well for what we need with straight flute or tapered endmills. Ball and radius not worth the hassle.
I would like the option to create correct radius corners and ball mills for specific forms. I don't know if I am dreaming this is possible on a manual or not.
I am always looking for good information to understand what I am doing or need to understand the process. Creating an endmill from scratch would be one of my goals for the future. Most cuts I perform are shallow so learninig to cut the flutes and gash the ends are the key parts for me. Resharpening something now is not that hard. Just need to perform the proper setup. I can't seem to find video or images of the process in action. The CNC machines are just too expensive right now.
Just looking for other sources for learning.
