Noobie Advice About Stones

[Dulcmrman]

Hello all.  New member Dennis here.

Please forgive me if this subject has been covered.  I tried the search function with no success.

I currently sharpen my knives using a set of Japanese water stones, 400 grit, 1000 grit, and 3000 grit, followed by stropping on leather using a 2.5 micron and a 0.5 micron paste on the strops.  I am striving for a consistent 15

I am reasonably satisfied with my current process, but it is time consuming and I am struggling to maintain consistent angles, hence my decision to buy a Tormek.

I am about to buy a used T-3 and set it up to sharpen my kitchen knives for a start.

Can I get the same quality of edge using the SG-200 stone and stock honing wheel?  Or should I start looking for a finer stone on which to finish my knives?  If so, what stone(s) would you recommend and why?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

Dennis
