Hi Guys,
I have been toying with the idea of purchasing a wet grinder and I wa just wondering if any one out there has used these for sharpening their turning tools. At the moment I am using the Woodcut Tru-Grind on my 6" grinder and when ever my tools go bunt, as tools always do, I simply hone them with diamond stones in much the same way as Jerry Glaser suggests for his tools. As I am always hearing about woodcarvers and cabinet makers raving over how sharp the Tormek makes their tools I was just interested in some wood turners opinions.
Also, as wood turning tools require frequent re-sharpening would I need to go for the larger model (rated for continuous use) as you would be for ever switching the smaller unit on and off?
Thanks

p.s. does any one know who is demonstrating at the phillip island turn-around around this year?
