Good job I have the Jet whet stone grinder, the M42 is too far away for sharpening.
I know there are many ways to sharpen tools, you need to find one that works for you. I use the whet stone grinder for my turning tools. I have a high speed 8" grinder with a support bar to allow the same jigs to be used, for when a major reshaping of a tool is required,
I also use diamond plates for hand sharpening, useful when I am not in the workshop and need to under take major resharpening on a tool. I have 3 ceramic stones I use for the final edge, the ultra fine will give a nice mirror finish if you work at it a bit.

C'mon, Bob, you have to have some hand tools. You know how long it takes to open a paint can with a belt sander.
