I am undecided what type of chisel and plane iron sharpening system I want to invest in for my tools. I have always heard great things about the Tormek, (although $$$). Norton waterstones seems to be what the professional use, at least the ones I see on TV or "Thewoodworkingchannel".
I was curious what the pros and con's are for each. I would really hate to buy a Tormek and then realize that I need stones.
Also, are there any concerns with the concave curve the Tormek puts on chisels and plane irons, as compared to a flat surface with stones?
Also does anyone have any experience with sharpening jointer blades using the Tormek jig? Again, you get the concave curve on the blades.
Thanks for you input.
