Craig,
I've used one on a Jet 13 x 40 GH & like it. Very easy to resharpen with jig provided.

Thanks for the input, I liked the video of the tool holder and grinding jig. It looks simple and versatile.

While these holders are expensive, they do offer easy sharpning, and allow a good deal of freedom in how the tool is presented to the work when used with a lantern tool post (lantern tool posts are still useful to have even if you've already got a QC tool post).

I've had one of these diamond holders for my small SB-9A for a couple years, and I like it.
