I've had a Makita horizontal wet wheel machine for many years now, with 220, 1000 and 4000 grit wheels. Always fancied the Tormek, but they are kinda pricey.
Well, yesterday I sold a Morris gearbox for $300 on CL, and was looking around for something to spend that on, and lo and behold a Tormek T7 hardly used, with the standard bits and pieces(minus the grading stone which he couldn't find) plus knife jig, long knife jig, scissors jig, axe jig and a used once Tormek 4000 grit japanese water wheel (Gulp! $395 on Amazon) for ...........................$200.
I didn't haggle.
Heck, after all I had to spend $30 to get the grading stone!
Now to put it to use...I hope I like it better than the Makita which is good, but not perfect.
