Hello,
I am a newcomer in the Tormek community and I am French, so forgive my broken English in advance.
Could you give some advice on my case and help me to make a decision.
I am looking for a Tormek station to sharpen my knifes collection. (Mostly Global Knife) and few scissors.
On internet, I found a second hand Tormek Supergrind 2000 (sea attached photo)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17r4s9bvmkgZkljNUlWbDlBYXhkQlhZZnBSaUU0cDJxMXlF/edit?usp=drive_web
It is 10 year plus age and the selling price is 300 Euro.
Is it wise to buy this machine knowing that I'll have to upgrade it with :
MSK-250 Kit
LA-220 part because the leather honing wheel seems damaged on the picture
and ideally the grinding stone need to be replaced by SJ-250 Japanese water-stone to suit my usage.
Plus few jigs as TT-50, SP-50, SVX-150,SVM-00 etc.
I can't find the price for MSK-250 Kit , but the global budget with all part could be another 400 to 500 Euro.
And a brand new T7 standard station is sold at 539 Euro and I have to add HT-706 Hand tools kit and a SJ-250 stone.
What are your advice on this case ? what should be my best offer to buy this used machine ?
Is the Motor will handle 10 more year ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards
