CNC drill sharpening

How about this:
sharpen drill bits in a 4 axis mill or lathe with spindle encoder.
It might be possible, just move everything just so.
More of us have CNC equipment than fancy drill sharpeners.
I'm particularly interested in the drill sizes that are too big for normal
sharpeners and too small.
Have lots of little drill bits that are dull, some of them carbide. Some
down to #80, others to 1 1/2" diameter. They would be worth something if
they were accurately sharp. And yes, I can sharpen the big ones by hand.
But how much better would they work if the accuracy was higher? And the
little ones I've had inconsistant luck with. Not good enough for close
tolerance work.
Has anyone tried this?
