My experience with the Wolverine skew jig is it only allows you to get a straight edge between the short point an long point. Many people, me included, like a slightly radiused edge. Check out the way Alan Lacer does it. I use his skews and follow his method of sharpening which is using the platform tool rest and pivoting the skew with the handle very low to match the bevel.
As far as wheel dressers are concerned it is a subject I know a lot about. I invented one a while back and market it. It works directly on the 3" X 5" Wolverine platform tool rest and absolutely trues the wheels easily and effectively. Unlike
anything else on the market, it has a hefty mass (1.75 lbs) and a fulcrum point very close to the wheel. The diamond is 1/2 ct. and is presented to the wheel at a slight angle. The diamond is advanced in micro increments by rotating the threaded support shaft. The diamond maintains a cone shape. I have replaced only two diamonds in all the years I've been selling this product.
A shorter model is available too, but only works well on tool rests up to 2" front to back.
When the wheels are made to be concentric to the axle, further balancing is not necesary. Balancing only compensates for irregularities in the circimference of the wheel. I've done extensive testing on this and firmly believe it. Even if you were to balance the wheel using weights and did an absolutely perfect job and the vibration in the grinder was corrected; your tools, when applied to the wheels, would still bounce. Then if you corrected the eccentricity of the wheels using a wheel truing system now the grinder would vibrate because the weights would be unnecessary.
I have supplied my Wheel Truing and Dressing Solution to over a thousand turners and have had none that decided balancing was necessary once the eccentricities of the wheels was corrected. Please chack it out at
www.geigerssolutions.com. I have received only positive feed back from the users. Most report it is the best wheel dresser they've ever used.
If you want to read what other Sawmill Creek members have to say about it: search my name "Geiger" and you'll find some of their threads. Also you can search "Geiger woodturning" or "Geiger woodturner" on Google.
Thanks and good luck with your turning!
