I enjoy sharpening chisels with the SG grinding wheel. I enjoy the sound and feel of the stone with the high carbon steel chisel. I enjoy the sensory differences when the stone is graded fine. I like to see the sharp edge evolve, just as I have always enjoyed photographic prints come to life in the developer tray. The whole process is very satisfying.
I have also given an edge a quick tune up, using just the leather honing wheel with whatever honing compound remained. I have recently discovered that by leaving the dry 180 grit CBN wheel in place, I can do a respectable quick sharpening job on a chisel "on the fly" (an English idiom meaning hurredly without stopping). A quick follow up with the leather honing wheel makes a surprising difference.
This does not render a proper Tormek edge, but is very close, and, as Alan Holtham might say, is "very quick".

sounds like a winner Ken.
Last time I did something on the fly, the wife caught me. ( But thats a different story ) Haha
C.B.N. sounds good though.
