A guy that has a sharpening business up here did some demos at Rockler. he suggested looking into the Wolverine attchments for grinders but he also said he uses his disc an belt sander with very fine grit 400 or higher and gets very good working edges for his lathe tools. I've tried it and like the results. Still need to cool the edges with oil or water to keep the temper. Happy New Years Ron
If you have an extra 589 laying around you can get this thing...
You can get the parts separate and if you are handy you could rig one up yourself for the cost of 1 of the wheels and some of the compound for turning tools, He says on the video you don't want to use the finer white compound and only the coarser one. Therfeore you could get a "straight edge" wheel and some green compound and put it on a1450 or 1750 motor and viola. I was going to try that before I got the worksharp as a gift.....sharpening problems solved.
It looks like it is only available at Woodcraft.
I'm a sharp freak.....my son picked up awhile back at a woodworking show these two " white paper looking wheels with the goop to put on it....well he demo'ed it to me....knifes came out just like the vid above...no sheetz.....only 30 bucks for the kit.....2-8" wheels w/goop.....come to papa.
