I'm interested in getting feedback by owners and users of the water-type grinder/sharpeners. Grizzly, Makita, Delta, and Tormek make them, among others. I'm particularly interested if anyone has purchased the Tormek 2004 and what their experience has been. I want something fast, easy, reliable and suited for a variety of sharpening requirements. My primary need is to sharpen chisels and I believe the rounded bevel acquired from a vertical wheel is superior to the flat bevel from a conventional flat stone. The speeds of most shop grinders are too fast and always put the metal temper at risk. I'm tired of fooling with them. Any thoughts about this subject of sharpening? Clark Foerster RPT
