Hi Ken,
thanks a lot for your prompt reply. I've just ordered the T1. I came to this decision because more frequent honing might be more relevant for my needs than occasional repair tasks. And to this end, easy access close to the kitchen is very helpful. However, in case it may turn out that for repair tasks etc. it is too cumbersome on the long run, I'll order an additional T2 or T4. Originally I would have preferred only one device, but let's see how T1 does its job. Maybe Tormek is going to identify a growing demand for an additional coarser wheel on T1 ... technically, there are no limitations, aren't there?

I am also considering buying a T1 or T2. Particularly, I'm wondering how well suited T1 is for reprofiling, damage repair, etc., compared to T2.

I guess in theory it's possible, but how much more time will it take compared to the coarse wheel available for the T2? And how much faster do I need to replace the T1 wheel due to wear when I use it for these purposes?

Let's say I find one or two old knives a year that I want to re-profile. And once a year, I need to repair a knife that was accidentally dropped on the floor ...
And once, after the purchase, I want to establish a uniform grind angle across a larger part of my kitchen knives. Additionally, for two or three knifes, I need to correct the shape of the blade that got wavy over time (due to faulty manual sharpening).

Can anyone recommend whether I may also use the T1 for these purposes (which I would prefer because it takes up less space), or whether a T2 would be a clear advantage?
