I sharpen blades for customers, I use Cooks Cat Claw with Timberwolf Dual Tooth Setter.
I considered the Dino, but too many people said it was a little complicated to set-up.

Tom,
I use a grinder made by Wright Tool. It works well. For setting I use a Cooks Catclaw and that works very well.

I also know that Logmaster resells the Wright grinder, and a setter setup on their own table.
