Sorry for the painful picture but this happened after a tool that was suspended above my Tormek accidently fell down. I had this stone for about 6 months only and now there is this big chip thanks to my own fault. Only options I can think of is to true away the entire outer damaged part with the TT50, or buy new.

Who has other ideas?

As I am about to pull the trigger on a new T4, my first Tormek, I understand that I will need some jigs to go with it. In my case probably the truing tool, the axe jig, the knife jig and the chisel/straight edge jigs. I did read a lot to orient myself and it has come to my attention that Tormek do release improved version of their jigs every so often. So obviously I prefer to receive the latest jig versions available. But my question is, particularly with the SE-77 and the TT-50: can I, or the retailer that I intend to buy from, recognize if the jigs they select for shipping are indeed those newest versions? (In case they might have had it on the shelves for some time). In fact I have wondered the same thing about the T-4 itself because my impression is that there are various versions as well, based on the pictures that I see on the official page https://www.tormek.com/international/en/machine-models/tormek-t-4-original/ - look at the name plates.

As I haven't found solid info on version history I, as a prospect owner of such machines, would be helped by any pointers you can give.
