Thank you all.

I found this great comparison chart from Highland that's helped me see the differences.

After seeing that I think I'm going to be hunting for a used T8. Hopefully I can find one with light use for a good price. I can see myself at some point sharpening a dozen plane blades in one session, so I like both the continuous rated motor and the wider strop that I can use the se77 on.

Now need to decide if I just sell the t3 and turners kit now or wait until I find a T8. I should probably wait.

Thanks again.

Ken,
Thank you very much! 

I like to collect old tools such as Stanley planes and chisels, so I get a lot of really beat up blades. I do have a standard 8" slow speed grinder with the Veritas sliding thing, so maybe that's the best place to get the beat up blades back to straight new metal.

I will definitely register to get the manual and look into the video series.

I'll plan to keep this until I come  across a deal on a newer model, hopefully T8.

Thanks again!

Hi all. New here and to the Tormek world. I'm sore these types of questions have been asked before but I was hoping for some direct advice.

Today I picked up a T-3 with some nice accessories for a good deal. Could easily make money selling it. I don't turn and it came with a TNT-808 turning kit which I'll likely sell.

What's the difference between this and a T-4 or T-8?  Wheels smaller? 

Wondering if I should invest in this T-3 or hold out for a different model.

I'd like to use this mainly for planer blade and chisels. Was hoping to located a cheap rough shaping wheel to remove defects/material. Heard about sourcing from China made sharpeners.

Thanks!
