Dave,
Nice write-up! I can see that if you need to sharpen slitting saws or woodruf cutters often, it would make sense to make a fixture to hold the cutter and Dremel tool to keep the grit away from the lathe. I wouldn't think it would take much to make a fixture to do the job. But for occasional sharpening it makes more sense to use the lathe as you've done.
