    Yes, the quality is very good & the thing is a pleasure to use.

    Ken, mine is the Veritas Mk.II power sharpening system. I Bought it with most of the bells & whistles 10-15 years ago. It sits in a cabinet; I have used it maybe 3-4 times.

    Ken can I twist the original intent of this thread just slightly ? I have a tool that for sure I bought and have never used. It is a mortising attachment for my drill press,I tried to set it up once and realized that I did not have chisels,that was about 20 years ago.

    I had one of those, but even though it came with a set of chisels I decided after a decade or so in the box I was more interested in woodturning than making furniture and gave it away.

    Is there a reason you don't use it? I also have the Veritas MKII, and have basically used it to the point it is now worn out.
    You can put a wicked nasty edge on a chisel, or plane iron, with one.

    Yes, the MkII is very nice - typical LV high quality. When I bought it I was trying to force myself to become more Neander. It turns out that I'm 95% a machine tool guy. I tried to sell it once here, but didn't see much response.
