How common is sharpening your own endmills ? Favorite grinder for that purpose ?
No I stand by that statement lol. But that's great you have one and were able to use it in a pinch like that. I'm more referring to the old days of 20 years ago when we would be given carbide blanks and have to turn them into cutters. Its just not like that anymore. Atleast in my neck of the... -

Specialty work indeed. I did some .022" holes earlier this year and thought that was tiny! Try Stark Industrial in Ohio. No affiliation just offering a suggestion.- SteveEx30

Not willing to change
I worked at a shop with this very same issue. 25+ year employees definitely aren't eager to learn new ways so tread lightly. Eventually some will learn newer faster ways and some will just dig their feet in and protest. And unfortunately those are the ones you may have to let go. Bottom...- SteveEx30

Nakamura Tome TW-20, 3 or 4 wire?
Yes correct I agree. And I believe that's why the OP is asking for help. I think he wants to go around the phase converter with the Neutral. If he searches this definitely has been brought up a few times.- SteveEx30

Client-owned machine in your shop?
Just be careful. I had an amazing customer of 9+years go bankrupt. Too many eggs in one basket, took me over a year to get back on track. I won't ever be narrow eyed like that again and appreciate having many sources of work. Either way good luck with your venture!- SteveEx30
