I like to ask you guys who are buying this system that would you prefer to own this system or Wolverine system, since I don't have either one and I have to spend the money. And, if you already have the wolverine system then why are you adding this system to your toll collections?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have a homemade wolverine type setup and it's the only thing I have ever used before. I bought the work sharp mostly because it was such a good deal, but I'd like to try a different sharpening system so I can compare and see the advantages and disadvantages of each. Also, this system looks like it may be better for my flat lathe tools and regular wood chisels. Looks like you can set the angles on it and you'll also get a flat grind instead of a "hollow" grind
 
Got an invoice from Home Depot that the 3000 has been shipped -- The price is right. I may have biased the cause by paying with a home depot gift card.
 
Phillip -- We are probably approaching a Hijack of the thread -- but the 3000 is being purchased by me for honing of tools. I have a slowspeed grinder and wolverine for primary grinder. I am always looking for sharp edges on both flatwork and lathe tooling and was not ready to jump to the Tormek or equivalent.

I have seen the worksharp and for less than $100 delivered, seemed like a good shop for honing/sharpening.

AAW sells a DVD on sharpening with 4 of the nationally prominant turners talking about sharpening. They all use jigs with teaching for consistency -- and all know how to hand sharpen without jigs.

If you have the time and inclination, get some harbor freight tools and good wheels and practice. I tend to hand sharpen skews and some gouges. I have been moving to a convex grind style (vs the mechanical concave) and that is a hand process. Remember to use safety glasses, and magnifiers help see what is really at the edge.

I expect the worksharp to be hand sharpening of finer edges for finish work.
 
Yep, got my email today as well!! I still wonder why they sent out the previous email since it looks like they got them within the 30 days that they originally stated.
 
Mine was just delivered just minutes ago. As luck would have it, it shipped out of Richmond, VA., which is just a couple hrs away. In fact it left Richmond at 3:32am this morning, delivered at 12:47pm.
