Anyone have experience with this sharpening system? Any good?

This is the online manual for it-looks pretty solid.

Do parts still exist for it?

Unfortunately, you will not be able to get to "dust free" in a woodshop environment. If you choose to go down the dust collection/filtering route, know that these things will reduce dust but not eliminate it entirely. I would think awhile about if this is acceptable for your other hobbies....

Alright-now I'm getting close to done I think. Decided on double bevel on cover with single bevel on base. Interior base image also done. Cross is dowel mounted thru top and because I screwed up the holes, I hid them with some walnut "dimes" on the inside. The top/base used a light pecan s...
