How do you sharpen a round blade for a 1 in 1?

What about a tool cutter grinder, with the blade in a mandrel in the toolholder? I've never used one but they seem pretty ubiquitous in machine shops.

That might be another good option, Matt.   I used to have a fairly elaborate jig/fixture...Delta as I remember, that was designed for sharpening drills, and it might've worked well for something like this. A cutter grinding fixture in a machine shop might be just the ticket.

I've seen videos of guys adapting a Dremel mounted to the compound of a metal lathe to be used as a tool post grinder as well. A clever alternative to a very expensive Dumore tool post grinder or similar.
