Scheppach Ti-2000 Wetstone Sharpening System
Just wondering if anyone has one of these or similiar? Has anyone that used one find that when sharpening a blade going against the wheel that it makes a big mess with the water? Also does anyone know why the machine lets you grind going with the wheel? Is there a point to this? Sure beats me!
Why do people point to their wrist when asking for the time, but don't point to their crotch when they ask where the bathroom is?

the Scheppach is very similar to the Tormek and can even use some of the Tormek jigs. Tormek have produced a very good video whch explains a lot of these issues and, even without explanation, lets you see how much mess it should, or shouldnt, make. I'll send the video to you if you PM with details or you might be able to borrow oe closer to home. Fletty

Ive got the Tormek, not cheap but everything in sight is sharp.
Ive tryed doing it by hand, but I cant do it, so the machine is a good thing.

More reading (mostly here), some questions, more practice - etc etc. Lots of grubby fingers at work the next day - that grinding sure does get under the nails and cuticles, and is a bugger to remove
Anyway, one day, something - not sure what:confused: - a little miracle occurred - a plane iron was super smooth and super sharp - I felt like kissing it, but I'd prefer to keep my lips, thanks:eek:
It's part of the hobby thing for me; and the reward is running a plane across some red gum or blackwood (thanks Mark!) and getting that lovely "sssshhhhh" sound and wispy little curly shavings or slicing with a chisel and getting the same sort of thing.
Still battling with cutting straight though:eek: :eek:
Cheers!

Also use the Tormek system and think its terrific.
Only criticism is the cost of the planer blade attachment!!:eek:
Little tip is to put a couple of small magnets,,the ones from cupboard catches will do,, and they pick up all the sludge and filings and keep them off the wheel which otherwise gets a bit mucky.
