The wheel turns at 90 rpm in a water bath. At that speed the edge cannot get hot, so there is no risk of drawing the temper back the way a dry bench grinder does in seconds.

The real value is the jig system rather than the machine. Once a jig is set for an angle, every subsequent tool comes off matching. The twentieth chisel is identical to the first. For a shop maintaining a set of edge tools that repeatability is the whole argument.

Supplied with the straight-edge jig, the angle setter, honing compound and the leather stropping wheel. The specialist jigs for gouges, axes and turning tools are separate.
