Has anyone ever tried slapping a 6" 220 grit PSA disk on a face chuck for sharpening? I would think with the lathe set at the right speed it would do a fair job of sharpening tools without a lot of investment. It may require making some specialized jigs to hold the tool at the correct angle.

Funny you should mention this.
Over in a Penturners forum there is a thread running about this very thing. I am Mudder over there and I posted a picture of a kit that Sorby used to sell. I won the kit as a door prize so I don't know if they are still for sale or what the price is. Here is a link to the post.
