I need a little assistance. I've read reviews on the Delta 23-700 on Amazon, I've read about the Woodcraft horizontal WetStone grinder, I've slobbered over the Tormek although I don't know why, I've looked at a few other Delta models, a Jet model, I've read and researched old threads on Google as to this subject.
Basically I need to sharpen my turning tools. I've been turning for a week now and needless to say I'm hooked. I'm making plans to create all of my Christmas gifts on the lathe, but I know I'll be doing a lot of sharpening as well.
So the question becomes, what do I get? A horizontal wet stone, a bench grinder, a slow speed grinder, jigs to hold the tools (I think this is a must). I had a guy at the local woodcraft recommend a 1" belt sander with fine belts. Really? I talked to him about the various choices but he wasn't much help. I do know I'll need to get some different wheels of varying grit.
I do all kinds of woodworking, I'd prefer something I can sharpen my chisels and jointer knives on as well.
Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
