your advice: Tormek T-3, Festool ETS 125 etc

[Jerry Olexa]

Got the TORMEK but by time I got there, the Festool sander was sold...Decided not to pursue the Delta air cleaner..No timer or remote..
Thanks Davis for your insight...Yes all those accessories came with including a grinding stone (often omitted)..Now I understand the sliding nature.
I feel good about the purchase and looking forward to set up and trial....THANKS to all of you!! You helped me make a sound buying decision..!!

If you need a wet-wheel sharpening system and can live with the smaller diameter grindstone, the T3 appears to be a good buy. I use the T7 plus waterstones. I am assuming the quality and design features of the T3 are similar.

I have a T3, have had it for over a decade now. It's worked well for me and I use it pretty actively.
