    Thanks for the link. I've been looking for a sharpening system and this will help me decide which one to get.

    Interesting site. Confirms all the comments that $6 is a real bargain to keep this site going as it is.

    I have one. I couldn't sharpen a stick if my life depended on it. I can get my chisels scary sharp using the WS3000. I love it.

    Decent write-up, Terre. I've had the WS3000 for a few weeks and have no complaints at all. I am looking forward to the new attachments that are scheduled to be available 1st quarter 2008. These will take care of the >2" wide plane blade limitations and add other functionality. If you look at the right side of the machine, there is already a mount for those coming attachments.

    Thanks, Ken. Let me be clear and say I didn't write it, a friend of mine did. I called it a real review because it was done by someone that was in the market for something like this, bought it and will use it.

    talk of new attachments coming...

    thanks for the link- I had already added it to my Christmas list, this just reinforces the decision!

    But I had not heard about the coming attachments for wider planer blades- does anyone have more info on this- I didn't see anything on their website last time I looked.

    regards

    Mike

    Yeah, I'm not certain what Rick Potter's comment meant, but if you can find quality info like that there, I think it's worth checking out.

    Mike I called the Work Sharp company and asked a few questions a few days ago. They could not tell me much about the new accessories (I am sure it has to do with marketing) but did say they had some coming out so the rumors about new attachments are true from what I gather… I just ordered one today … for x-mas

    Convinced me, I've been looking at it for some time. Still have my Woodcraft $50 gift card from the PM2000 debacle which will help a little.
