personally think that u-tube may be the starting point for many, but eventually they will go to the forum to get the real nitty gritty.

Yes, I have. I use you tube often. and have found numerous useful sites. Unfortunately, I have also found many sites with incorrect information. (One recent T4 long term review mentioned the larger Tormeks using 250 or 300mm grinding wheels. I wonder if Sweden knows this?) I happened to watch that site right after watching (twice) Wootz' Tormek sharpening you tube. I was underwhelmed.

Quote from: cbwx34 on June 16, 2018, 05:40:36 PMI find that the SJ gets out of round somehow and I cant figure out why. I always use light pressure and always a side to side motion. it seems as tho I have to true it after about 7-8 knives. mostly Wustoff and Henckels. But, when I re-true it, it is out by less than 2mm. it would only get worse from there on, so I go ahead and true it when I notice it. I have been using the new SJ since march and I am at 241 wheel diameter, so I have used 9 mm so far. I did hone up a few drill bits, but I don't do that anymore. maybe that's where I got the most wear. overall I am happy with the SJ and it does an excellent job. no complaints.
I have a question for some of you... what is the "wear rate" of the SJ stone, compared to your SG stone?
I've had good success maintaining the stone solely with a fine rust eraser... and the stone shows very little wear as a result. I think of this stone like any other fine waterstone... it should last a very long time. I know some of you sharpen a lot more than me... but your "wear rate" just seems high to me. (My opinion... and why I'm asking.)...
Tormek says about this stone... "Its unique composition gives this stone an extremely long life". I wish Tormek would publish some "actual use" numbers... but doubt we'll see that.
Anyway, am curious what the comparison might be.
