Thanks Jeff.

I've been lurking on this forum for the past 2 weeks as I've researching different sharpening systems. I knew you'd respond back with the information necessary to make the best decision.

Thank you for your response. Much appreciated.

Hello,
New to this forum. Found it while researching different sharpening systems. I recently started turning and need a quick, accurate and reliable way to keep my chisels at their best.
I've looked at some of the competition, but I keep coming back to the Tormek line. Especially after a long conversation with two salesmen at the local Rockler. They are huge fans of Tormek, have used theirs for years and don't recommend anything else.
So this leads to my question:

The T-7 retails for $589 and comes with some accessories as part of the base package.
The Supergrind 2006 with Micro Adjuster is currently on sale for $299.
Obvious accessories that come with the T-7 and not the 2006, the SP-650 and the TT50, would add about $100 to the price of the 2006. Still substantially lower than the price of the T-7.

So what else does the T-7 offer that does not come with the 2006 that makes it worth another $189? It has an increased capacity (3" vs 2.25"). Anything else?

Any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you.
Brian
