Good info Mike, thanks. Steve, I am using Firefox as well ( worth the download) and that must be the trick here.

My son likes to invest in his future tools bought me the Work Sharp 3000...........Wow, I sharpened six hand tools in less than 5 minutes and back to the lathe.

I just installed a large corian counter top in the kitchen and I have the sink cut out piece 33 x 22. I am wondering if a piece of this would work for the scarey sharp system instead of glass? Again it's not granite but corian.

Does anyone know if this stuff can be cut with a carbide tipped blade on the table saw? Some one told me he thought it needed to be cut with water and I think he is probably right. Just wondering.

Corey, I know it can be cut with good router bits...

Yes, it would make a great base for the Scary sandpaper... although, not that much would be required...

NICE stuff!

Yeah, I thought it would be worth a shot for sharpening on and that's why I need to cut it cause it's a large piece. I know they use router bits on it but was thinking they use water jets with it but maybe not. I know it can be turned easily on a lathe as well with normal tools. People make pens out of it all the time too.

I too use the spell-check in Firefox but it only underlines the miss spelt word so I also have FreeSpell 4.2 which is a freebie as reccomended by Bj.

Mike, thanks for that first class shoot on sharpening, it's never been my strong point.
