Tormek vs Scheppach Sharpening Systems
Well with all the talk about the recent Tormek withdraw from Amazon and the varied opinions about this situation, I have decided to see what the grass looks like on the other side of the fence. With that, the obvious choice to me for a sharpening system alternate to the "T" is the German built Scheppach TiGer 2000. So, does anyone own one of these units and what is your opinion of it if you do. Have you ever seen one in person. I think the blue stone opinions does potentially have some merit. (Better for HSS sharpening).
Hartville Tool is have a 15% of sale on their sharpening systems in March and I am starting to get the itch to finally buy something. I had always thought I would go with the "T" but sometimes a free market place has to be given consider and the consumer makes the choice. (At least for me).
Thanks in advance for your comments, experiences or regrets with the Scheppach TiGer 2000. Believe me, I already know the reputation of the Tormek.
Deep vs Shallow Hollow Grind?
What are the effects (in regards to woodworking) of a deeper hollow grind? I understand the principal on the tool but not sure of the user impact? Maybe you have a sharper curve at the cutting edge which does what?
Thanks
May want to sell a Tiger 2000 New. Would you be interested?
