Hmmmm? Sounds like so much horse hokey to me. My system is a 1325rpm
grinding wheel, (each wheel..medium & fine grit is about $40 each) a 1" x
42" vertical sander and  three stones, (a good Arkansas medium, 6" x 2 1/2";
a "v" slip and a German Razor Stone,[ceramic]), mounted in a long piece of
teak. (Teak coexists with oils better than most other woods) The oil, I use,
is Mineral Oil. No need for the fancy schmancy oils, either! If I can't
sharpen a chisel in less than two minutes, then I've been hitting spikes and
staples with them...which I seldom do!!!<G> All these fancy schmancy
sharpening machines and technicques is pure horse hokey IMHO! BTW, I
freehand everything!  I believe I can teach anyone to hand sharpen, as long
as they have two hands and reasonable intelligence. Of course, in a former
life, I was a chef and grew up in the Restaurant industry.<G>

Regards,

Joe
