I'm new to this forum so if this was covered before please put a link in your reply. I want to get a Universal Support with Micro Adjust, should I just go with the wider one now? I have a older model, Super Grind 2005. Also any place that is preferred to order Tormek stuff from? Thanks for any replies.
Welcome to the forum, Peter. Good question. The longer universal support
(US-430) is designed for longer and wider knives. (Chef knives longer than eight inches or cleavers. The US-430 is not only longer, the vertical legs are also longer.)
If you sharpen longer knives or cleavers, the US-430 is a good investment. If you sharpen woodworking, woodturning, or regular kitchen knives, the newer
US-105 with microadjust will serve you well.
Consider the possibility of a US-430 as a possible second support bar if you find you need one.
