Thanks for your input. There are a lot of ways to go. Being able to sharpen both knives and scissors on one machine would be nice. Doing clipper blades is a whole new proposition. I am still in the research stage at this point. I might buy one anyway just for my wood turning tools. I am a segmented turner and I resharpen often. Something that takes off less metal than my dry grinder is attractive. Tormek has a good reputation for that
