    Cowells norwich sharpening system?

    I have a sharpening water wheel with motor....model 25-400. Looks like made in UK but powered for US (115v 60hz). It was given to me by an elderly woodworker.

    It has an adjustable rod/plate for tool rest.
    Are there accessories for it I should have and instructions? how can I find such things?
    thanks

    I tried using it last night. It must be a very find stone grit as it takes forever to remove any metal. More like just polishes. So I guess I stick with the scary sharp approach using sandpaper on glass for a flat hone. Since all my chisels and blades have a flat hone it would take forever to use this wheel since it would need to get to the concave hone.

        Oreofeeder, did it look something like this?

        Canadian Tire used to sell a version that was similar.

          No. It looks very much like a Tormek with only 1 wheel for grinding.
