I have the bigger worksharp. the 199 one. Woodcraft has it on sale with a bonus leather strop accessory. That thing is great! It will sharpen anything. I use it on my lathe tools and use I think the 400 grit to do touch ups and I never have to do any more. If your tool is dull do some 150 grit then 400 and you are all set. For a razor edge you can go up to 1000 grit and higher. It sharpens square chisels very well with the slot that has the perfect angle everytime. To do a skew and gouge that i do I do it on the flat face on top so you have to get used to it and angle it properly but is very quickly learned. I swear I can get a finer finish than sanding... With a freshly honed chisel, my plugs have that smooth wet carved look that woodcarvers talk about. It will sharpen anything. Youtube has some cool videos on it.
