I recently bought a Df-200 wheel for my T1200 and see in the description that it can be use wet (with the additive) or dry.
Can anyone tell me what the difference in performance is between wet and dry?
Thanks

Hi Mr Duster.
I don't think there will be any noticeable performance differences between wet and dry.
2 implications using dry:
Dust.
Possible clogging of wheel (running through water cleans the wheel as you go and leaves dust in the water)
Using wet with AC:
No dust.
Water all over the place( though this can be countered).
Mixing up AC to correct proportion and not wasting it. ( you will get spillage. It adds to your cost and time. It can be reused by filtering but adds time and fiddle faddle.
I think a Tormek should really be used with water. That's what it was designed for.
Ive said this before but worth repeating:
Give me water splashes and slight inconvenience any time rather than metal dust everywhere.
