Best powered sharpening device?

[Ken Massingale]

I agree with the positive comments about the WS3000. I have had one for several months and now don't mind keeping my tools sharp.
I have been successful sharpening turning tools with the slotted wheel. I use the black marker to shade the bevel and hold the tool to match that angle, taking the black off.

I don't mean to contradict anyone, but I have read here and elsewhere that the toolrest can be mounted in the slots under the wheel. I have twisted and contorted everway possible and the darn thing just won't fit.
I called Worksharp and they confirmed that it isn't designed to fit there and will not. The slots under the wheel are for attachments that, as of a few minutes ago, they say are scheduled for April, 2009. Well, they said April when I asked last Fall, guess I should have asked which year! I'd like to see a pic of the toolrest installed so I can gladly eat crow.

I showed them the pic. that the guy at Lumberjocks who did the review posted of the 'attachment' he said he bought. They claim to know absolutely nothing about that device and say it's not theirs.

That extra jig must mount via screws, visibile, and square nuts that slide in the two channels on the back of the WS. It must be an after-market jig. In any case, those channels can, and likely will, be used for mounting another jig.
