Free is good, and this thing really works.

I have a T-7 with the  EzyLock shaft, which makes changing the wheels very fast, and just use one machine and change the wheels on it.

Joe,

My T7 was just before the EZYlock.  I had no problems with the old shaft, but decided to upgrade.  I really like the new EZYlock.  It does make changing the wheel a snap.

I only have the one wheel at this point.  I am considering adding wheels in the future.  While ideally it would be nice to have separate machines for each wheel, my retirement amateur shop would be very adequately served with a single machine.  Space is as  much a consideration as cost.

If I did a lot more work, or did it professionally, separate machines would be the cat's meow. I think Ionut's method is really slick.  (A second machine still tempts me.)

Ken,
If it takes five seconds to change a wheel, what's the logic of having a machine for each wheel?

Lol, i'm just usually willing to pay less than others as i don't actually need it.... though it is frustrating when the winning bid is $1 more than my max bid...The most i'll pay is what i could sell the two 1200s for

The more i use the 4000 stone though the more i like it,  no longer take any of my woodwork tools to bench waterstones which are now used only for my good kitchen knives
