Hi,
I really need to sharpen my tools and was pretty set on the Grizzly Tormek knock off for $89.99 http://www.grizzly.com/products/8-Grinder-Sharpener/T10097
but then read a few posts and saw this 8 in slow speed grinder at woodcraft:
http://www.woodcraft.com/Product/2080939/29437/8in-Slow-Speed-Grinder.aspx
I planned on picking up the wolverine jig as well.
What do you think? I'm new to turning and sharpening and don't want to find out what I bought isn't what I really needed.
I gather from the posts I read that the Tormek knock off will give sharper tools but is not as versatile as a grinder..true or not? Will I even need a grinder?
Thanks for your help!
