sharpening tools on the lathe

[CREID]

Ok, the other day I ran across a jig you attached to the lathe to sharpen lathe tools. I don't remember where it was. Does anyone know where I seen this and has anyone ever used one and your opinion?
Thanx

Nova sells an attachment for their
Comet lathe to sharpen.

Consensus seems to be keep grinding wheel dust away from the lathe particularly for pen turners doing finishing Etc.

Yea this wasn't for a specific lathe but I was wondering about the molten metal getting on the lathe bed, sounds bad.
I was somewhere on a site that sold pen making supplies.
I should have bookmarked it or written it down when I seen it, I do this all the time, see something, move on, with the intention of checking it out later then can't find it.

I saw them on PSI but I went to order, they were always out of stock. Got a Wolverine set up for Christmas. Love it too. Fayi

Pick up 5" Velcro sanding pad at Harbor Freight. Mount it on your lathe. may require creativity to do that. Sharpen your tools by lightly rubbing them in the 6-9 o'clock area with the lathe at around 500-700 r/min.
