As pointed out by Ken S in the previous thread - the 200mm stone size of the T-4 is highly prevalent across many grinder brands and models.
I have a T-4 Bushcraft and have added the Japanese stone, All 3 (DC, DF and DE) diamond stones for scandi grinds and modern steels (Magnacut, Elmax et all, the large guide, the hand tool kit and the new angle finder - a great system
Love the system but would like another machine to reduce the number of inevitably time consuming stone changes as I move through grits.
If I had a T-8 the situation would be simple - I could by a bare "T-8 custom" without the stones or base kit for half the full set price (in UK terms at least) and crack on but that option is not available for the T-4 and I am loathed to pay double the implied price of a base unit for extra jigs and stone etc that I already have.
I am not aware of any uk second hand forums that cover Tormek's and eBay hasn't thrown much up that doesn't include a value destroying 300 mile round trip to collect.
Are there any simple but reliable machines that are known to be compatible with a Tormek stone? Apologies if that is heresy on this site btw
I might contact Tormek about a bare/custom version btw
