I'm between destroying everything with an edge that I own and making things sharp enough to cut diamond. :tongue:
Actually, a couple of years ago, I bought a Tormek in an effort to make sharpening easy. However, it takes a lot more skill to use than I anticipated, especially with the jigs and fixtures. I am not thrilled with the roughing gouge jig (my gouge is wavy, but works), the grinding wheel has some very small grooves in it from I-don't-know-what, the flattening tool is hard to use because it's much narrower than the wheel and you have to hold the exact same force while sliding it, the fine/rough stone has dents in it, and the stropping wheels oscillate because
somehow the shaft got bent slightly. Don't have a CLUE how that happened, it may even have arrived like that.
As I learn how to use the thing, I occasionally have some super-sharp tools, but I find that sometimes the tool is only sharp enough to do half of one-half of a blank (i.e. half of the top of a slimline), so either I use some seriously hard woods, or I'm not getting as clean and sharp an edge as I should.
I'd practice more, but it gets in the way of my turning pens.
