    Work Sharp 3000

    Has anyone tried the Work Sharp 3000 for sharpening lathe tools, skews, gouges, etc? I was wondering how it compares to say the Wolvering One Way system, I currently have a slow speed grind but am debating going with the One Way or the Work Sharp,
    Thanks

    I use it for lathe tools. You do it freehand from the bottom. The wheel is slotted so you can see through it as it spins. I takes a little getting used to because ti's freehand, but it does a fine job.

      I use the chisel slot and the top. It works fine. They now have a 3 inch wide chisel addition which I bought for about $70 and they threw in a free glass wheel. Don't know if this is included in the newer versions.
      Never used the other, so no basis for comparison.
