I purchased a cheap 3 piece set of fly cutters and some square tools for them prior to finding the face mill on ebay.
I have no experience with grinding the tools, after some reading I got it to work alright, but...
Those cheap fly cutters are made of a really soft metal, and I've had the square tools that go in them actually wiggle loose, damaging the holder.
I had the set screws really tight too...
That indexable face mill you purchased will cut like a dream..
Mine leaves a beautiful finish on aluminum. (never cut anything else with it)
