Such a great series of posts. Thank you all for sharing and asking the pertinent questions. Always learn a lot from these posts.

OK - I have a different question - if you are building your business which comes first - the SJ-250, or the diamond wheels?

I purchased a "return address stamp" that I use to add my contact information on the cardboard sleeves I purchased. I like the look and variety of this variety pack much better (including the caution) so when my supply runs low (hopefully sooner than later) I will order these. Thanks for the links.

So appreciate all the info you experts share. I'm a new member as well and have been using my T8 for about a month. It's replacing both waterstones and an very well used edge pro setup. The T8 is wonderful, and I am getting great results as I gain the touch for using the various jigs. Also a shout-out to Vadim for his help and advice and some very innovative products (I think I helped him with a car payment this month). I am getting ready to launch a business and will be spending many nights reviewing the thousands of posts available here.
Can anyone suggest a forum for the business side of sharpening? Groups that would be important to join? Any suggestions are very appreciated.

Seems the only CBN wheels I have located are horribly expensive. Can buy 2 diamond wheels for the same price. We want the diamond wheels for certain HSS and ceramic knives.Why not just stick with What's available?

I am on the road to starting a local business to sharpen cutlery, woodworking tools, and perhaps shears and clippers. I have spent the past four years using the EdgePro system with stones up to 10000 (Chosera). I've obtained great results and the people I sharpen for are ecstatic with the results. I am starting to accumulate equipment to allow for a  higher production number. I'm looking at the Grizzly Paper system starting with the low speed bench grinder and two paper wheels, the Tormek T-8 and included small piece jigs, but nothing else at this time. When I get busier I will add the Wolff Twice as-Sharp for scissors. How does this sound to everyone? Suggestions would be very appreciated.
