Has anyone used the Worksharp dry sharpening system?

see www.worksharptools.com :confused:

Thanks all for your suggestions - i have decided to go with the delta 8" multi-speed with white stoned 60 and 120 grit. Can get if for $119 free shipping at Amazon. Will try it free hand and if i cannot do it will build the jig from Fine Woodworking - by King Heiple

personally no, I haven't tried it a couple of turners from my club did at a demo awhile back. they said it worked well on flat chisels, but not worth the effort on turning tools.

I agree with IAN's post. I sharpened a couple of bench chisels at a Rockler demo. It worked fine for that but can't see myself trying to achieve a fingernail grind with the system.
