This is the Sharpener that was given
such a favourable review in
Wood Carving Illustrated - Issue 40 page 14

The WS3000 comes with 2 tempered 2 sided glass wheels (150mm) and one slotted Edge-Vision wheel and uses both solid and slotted adhesive backed abrasives so you can quickly and easily change between coarse and fine grits. Work Sharp uses 150mm premium Norton and Micro-Mesh abrasives in grits of P120, P400, P1000 and 3600 for a wide grit selection. This allows you to have 4 grits on your 2 glass wheels (one grit per wheel surface).


The innovative Edge-Vision sharpening method allows you to see the cutting edge of tools while you sharpen, making sharpening of carving and lathe tools easier and more precise than ever before! Work Sharp provides slotted abrasives in P80, P400 and P1200 grits so you can coarse grind or hone all using the Edge-Vision method!

...and at a most reasonable cost!
