Here's a gripe anyone can relate to: I want the cutting edge square, but three of the wet grinders (JET, Grizzly and Scheppach) usually produced an edge just slightly out of square. Sandpaper-based Systems Your power sharpening options aren't limited to wet grinders. Honestly, I'm not real wild about sharpeners that require a pitcher of water and lots of towels on hand. When you work even a short time with a wet grinder, you end up with water puddles on the benchtop. You need towels to wipe off whatever tool you're sharpening, sop up the puddles and to dry your hands.

Tormek Gives You an Edge GRIZZLY T10010 Price: $169.95 Phone: 800-523-4777 \ What do I mean by cheesy? The jig has no shoulder against which to square the tool, and you lack a surface against which you can register a square because the jaw's widths are different. Try as I might, I couldn't get a cutting edge that was square to the edge of chisels and plane irons. All that said, it's still a solid machine. Here's why. The grindstone was true and cut well. I could slow it some but not stall it. The housing encloses the motor on the ends as well as the front and back, for better protection from water. The paddle-style switch with lockout is the best of the quartet. Best of all, it's a bargain for $170. Given the savings, you probably can find a fix for the deficient straightedge jig and for the accessories missing from the basic package. Grizzly: The Grizzly T10010 lacks the refinement of the Tormek and the JET — no fine adjuster on the support arm, no carry handle, noisier motor and thinner leather on the stropping wheel. The basic package doesn't include the grader and truing tool, and the one supplied jig is cheesy. Ihc Tormek Sharpening system will maintain just about every edge tool in your shop and home. Nothing on the market can match it for quality, versatility, edge positioning accuracy and repeatability.
