WolfY,
I did not realize that "waterstone" and "Tormek" were Hebrew words; I thought they were Amish, as is "router bit".

Bob, I think the T2 should really be compared with the T4. They share the same wheel diameter, motor, and almost the same housing. I also think we should consider the target market end user for the T2. Since you already own a T7, you should also compare the T2 and the T7.
I think it is wrong to compare the T2 to the others. Although it shares the same motor and body design it is totally different and aims to different users.
My question is if we examine two identical, freshly sharpened knives (for this example, let's assume both were sharpened by you, an experienced sharpener); is either knife sharper? and are the sharpening times comparable?
The little experience I had with the T2 few knifes at a restaurant in Sweden late at night was described on my post 1/2 yr ago.
I could not compare to a sharpening with the SG wheel but I feel that with the SG you can get better edge. Also as a professional sharpener it is limited to work with it.
Looking to get a T2 it has to be clear IMHO that it is good for restaurants, catering and alike businesses. It is aimed to ppl who wants a sharp knife to work with and don't care about grit, metal, angles etc... Sharp working knife NOW.
This users can start the morning with couple of minutes of putting their knifes in the machine knowing the are happy with ?? setting of angle and start their business with sharpened knife and enjoy their cuttings all day. Lots of businesses would pay higher price for this peace of mind.
My wooden knife block has a slot for a pair of kitchen scissors. When your customer requests that you sharpen his scissors, I do not think the T2 will handle this request. I don't know if the T2 can handle cleavers or unusual edges such as birdseye paring knives.
No cleavers on T2 as I understand. Definitely not with the knife jig. Maybe by freehand.
Paring knife yes but not the inner curve near the handle which is a post by it's own. (if really needed or not).
I am far from being a knife expert. I remember reading about one brand of very expensive knives which require a diamond wheel to sharpen efficiently. I do not think you will find these knives in most restaurants. The question is would a diamond wheel work any more efficiently with the knives you encounter than an SG, SB, or CBN?
Haven't tried the CBN on T-8 with water yet so I can't compare but I use frequently the SB and it takes all knifes and ceramics too with elegant.
I believe the recommendation from the "expensive" brand did the recommendation without knowing about Tormek SB and with some interests too.

Will share impressions in a month or two.
