Some tips:
- keep the speed slow
- stop the machine as the tip of the blade is about halfway across the belt to avoid burning or rounding the tip
- this works great for axes and cleavers
- I never had luck using this for scissors
- the rubber guides will wear out. You can reorder from Worksharp or go to your local hardware store and get a length of Pex and cut it to size. You'll have enough to last a lifetime.
- use masking tape on either side of the guides so that it doesn't scratch your knives. Replace the often.

edit, looks like this is $140 everyday on Amazon
double edit, so this apparently comes with the grinder attachment frame that is $80 regular price everyday on Amazon.
I guess it's an okay deal if you want the extra stuff

In 2021, the tool made the front page twice at $105/$106. And the blade grinding attachment made the front page twice at $60 and $70.
So this current deal is a little bit better than the front page deals from 2021.

Work Sharp has some good demo/instructional videos on their youtube channel. But you'll typically want to move the blade across the belt at a rate 1 inch per second, and you're not going to do a large number of passes either.
What my typical workflow is, is I take all my knives run them through the medium coarse belt. Swap the belt for the fine belt, run them all through that, and then the stropping belt. I can do all my kitchen knives in about a half hour.
Back in 1936 ....
It can give very good results, but take some finesse as things can happen fast. Practice on an older knife you do not care that much about. There's plenty of good videos on youtube demonstrating this system.
