Accurate and Effective (Rating: 5.00)
Review : I bought the Tormek turners package. The Instruction book is first rate. The steps are easy to follow and the illustrations are clear. I have used it on chisels and hand plane blades. I'm working my way through all my tools and using them as I go. To date I am thrilled with the ease of use and the great results cutting wood. Flattening the backs on the side of the stone takes a little bit of time if there is a lot of material to remove but it goes easily. The tools work quickly and switching between the rough and fine grinding surfaces takes me about less than a minute including removing and replacing the tool being ground. I have changed bevel angles pretty easily. The honing feature is easy to use and gives the metal a mirror finish. The tormek is heavy enough to stay in place without any fastening required. The biggest bother is cleaning out the water tray but a hose does the trick in no time. I would not want to dump the fine, wet grit down a sink without running a lot of water. This replaced a high speed grinder with 'special' white and pink stones plus and assortment of aftermarket jigs, diamond stones, ceramic stones, natural stones and other stuff. All of them helpful but slow and not as accurate. If I figure all I spent on the other stuff I was half way to the Tormek package. I should have listened to my wife when she said "just buy the best".

Review : Buy the complete package; it is expensive, but you only have to do it once. The system is simple and easy to use. It gets the chisels so sharp you must watch those fingers when working on a project.
Tormek Sharpening System - AWESOME TOOL! (Rating: 5.00)
Review : If you are looking for a tool to sharpen your chisels, gouges, knives, and more: I won't say "don't do what most people do, spend hundreds of dollars on uses sharpening systems" I like traditional sharpening, a stone and piece of leather, But sometimes you want to concentrate hours on your wood project more then you want to spend those hours sharpening your tools. There is no other tool that works like this, I have searched for two years, and the simple slow "RPM's" and the "Starrett like" precision quality makes this a unique tool. Not just for the shop, but the kitchen, and many other use's. I highly recommend the TormekŪ product, it is worth the saving for!.....ENJOY!
