Roundup were using a belt sander for sharpening. One model that I am
planning to purchase is offered by Lee Valley. 
I have the Lee Valley belt sander and use a 400 grit to do all my kitchen 
knives in about 10 minutes. Nope don't put my carving tools on it as I find in 
spite of years of sharpening, etc. I almost often roll or fail to get a 
completely flat edge. I like to hand hone my carvering tools as I like to sharpen them 
at the same angle at which I plan to  use them.
    Haven't found any system better than the CD put out by Elliott Ellenwood 
and the whole CD is about hand sharpening. It doesn't take long after you get 
your edges right the first time.
