I've got one of the Worksharp tools and it works pretty well. I also keep a slip stone at the lathe for touch-ups while I'm turning. If the tool is chattering even after you touch it up, that's when it's time to go to the wheel or worksharp. If you're using a regular grinding wheel and not a low speed be careful. It's easy to heat the tool hot enough to damage the temper. If it starts to change color, stop grinding immediately. Better yet, only make very shallow passes.
