I have not used the Sorby, but I do have the Wolverine. Looks like they
are similar. The Wolverine works quite well, they have some videos on
their web site on setting up and replicating grinds, helped me a lot.
Keep notes on the settings for each tool, easy to do with some tape on
the tool's handle with a Sharpie.
Due to some other sharpening needs I finally bought a Tormek. Sweet!
Doesn't take any longer to sharpen my turning tools with it than the
Wolverine does, and it gives a much sharper and honed edge, easily
lasting twice as long. Don't know if it is worth the extra $$ if all
you are sharpening is turning tools.
Still use the Wolverine to rough out a new grind and once in a while for
quick sharpenings if I don't want to go get water and then clean up
after the Tormek.
