small bit preference with SG-250

I was pleasantly surprised. Class 22 is listed as "which machine should I choose". Tucked in is a question about the DBS-22 with some interesting thoughts. I had not thought about leaning toward the larger T8 with the DBS-22 because of the weight of the jig. Also, I had not thought about possible damage to a diamond wheel with smaller drill bits. (Use the SG-250 with smaller drill bits.) This class is the first place I have heard this information.
Well done, Sébastien and Wolfgang!

The "weight" issue is mentioned on the Tormek FAQ page...

Quote from: https://faq.tormek.com/org/tormek/d/what-is-the-difference-between-the-t-8-and-the-t-4/The bigger and heavier format of the Tormek T-8 Original makes it more suitable for the bigger and heavier jigs, such as the DBS-22 Drill Bit Sharpening Attachment, the SVH-320 Planer Blade Attachment which might feel unstable on the lighter and more compact Tormek T-4 Original.

Yeah, I caught the note about small bits also.  Interesting.
