An apparatus for sharpening a plurality of tools. The apparatus includes a tool holder for receiving a plurality of tools to be sharpened. The tools are held in the holder with the cutting edges thereof aligned with respect to the longitudinal axis of the holder and in side by side relationship respective to one another. A grinding wheel is mounted to be moved parallel to the longitudinal arranged cutting faces of the tools and removes metal therefrom to thereby resharpen the cutting edges thereof. Means are provided by which the rotating grinding wheel can be moved towards and away from the cutting faces of the tools to thereby enable proper adjustments to be made between the cutting edge of the tools and the contact area with the grinding wheel. The tool holder can be rotated about the longitudinal axial centerline thereof to adjustably position the cutting edge of the tools in a manner which enables the cutting edge of the tools to make proper contact with the grinding wheel and thereby provide the most optimum cutting edge on each of the tools.
