>I think any of the three is a lot better for a bigener than trying to sharpen by hand.

A bigener has a lot to learn. So why not use a jig to get the same shape on the gouge every time.

The Kelton is a little more versatile than the other two. The wolverine is also great. Look them over, handes on, before you make up your mind.

Happy turning

>I like the Wolverine for my gouges (roughing) with the varigrind for my spindle and bowl gouges. As I already had a set of waterstones, I saw no need to buy the skew attachment. I can sharpen a skew on the waterstones. The platform with the Wolverine works okay with 8" stones for sharpening scrapers. I don't know if I would like it with 6" stones.
