[Woodcarver] Sharpening Systems

[Steve Lankerd Sr]

I'm with you Larry...
I'm not Swedish but I believe in cheaper is not necessarily better. I don't 
know how many times I was burned for buying "Cheap".  I've had my Tormek now 
for
3 years and would not trade it in for anything.  In fact, During my 22 year 
career in the timber industry as a QC Supervisor, We had a great many 
Swedish made products that we used with excellent results.  This was the 
reason that I bought my Tormek.  I have used this product for everything 
that cuts and with excellent results... from chisels and turning tools to 
axes, shears and knives of all shapes and sizes.  I read the dual review of 
both sharpeners and I seem to remember my Tormek coming with a video.  For 
what it's worth, this is just my opinion.

Happy New Year and Best Regards to all....
