I recently purchased a T-8 and after sharpening a few of my plane irons and chisels I discovered that I was obviously terrible at sharpening by hand. Considering the number of new bandages on my finger tips, the Tormek works well.
I suffer from the condition known as Gear Acquisition Syndrome, which I'm sure many of you have experienced. The outward manifestation of this condition is wondering how to make something that works exceedingly well even better. To that end, will the Japanese water stone allow me to produce an edge that will perform fission on a hydrogen atom?
I joke only slightly, but is the edge produced by the Japanese stone even more terrifyingly sharp than the what can be made by the graded stock wheel and strop?
Thank you.
