JET stone VS TORMEK sg250 review / comparison

Thanks for your reply PJ I wonders why you was not using them now I know .
Love your videos

PG
Have you tried there diamond stones I would think they would be better for you keep there size throughout ?? Enjoy your videos 👍👍

I bought a silicon wheel, it has the same consumption as aluminum. the only difference is that the knife does not "fall through" into it. in my work, the circle is enough for + -1000 knives. CBN #80 aggressive work was enough for 1500+ knives, and continues to work further. Of course, they are no longer removing material quickly. wheels made of silicon and aluminum work many times faster. for that, the CBN is not erased, now my mileage is 2500+ knives

The 13.50 seems to be a manufacturer defect. The Tor out of round could that be from the time in the water in between the uses???

I might have missed something but couldn't you move the wheel over to the Tormek and true it there?

Thanks for this video, it has saved me money and time. Alfred.. 😃😃😃

thank you

Thank you for your effort on the video. I have a WEN sharpener, and need a new wheel. I will buy a Tormek.

Cheers for posting P G. Your videos are Gold!
I'm turning my sharpening hobby into a spare time business and it"s a fascinating journey, listening to you talking about the nuts and bolts rather than extolling a certain edge or steel is a breath of fresh air.
I've been a chef for best part of 40 years and I'm loving making tired old knives come back to life. You're talking about your tools like I talk about my knives.

I dont do anything like your volume , its more a hobby for me, but I also do , chisels, Secateurs, hedge clippers, etc.
my first machine a Scheppech, made in china , had a blue compound wheel, that was absolute junk , out of round after 10 knives.
i brought a wheel from England , which worked wheel , but had wild grain as the Jet wheel you tried, but lasted well, and didn't go out as fast as the Chinese blue wheel.
I find scissors are the killer on the wheel, as i don't have a dedicated machine for them,.
many thanks for the videos. very informative

I have gone to CBN wheels for my T-8. I still use the original stone that came with the machine, if I have to profile the blade, but all the finish work is done with the CBN wheels.

What do you think about the tormek Blackstone wheel sir?

Great Review. However, I think this newer iteration of this wheel is different than past years of Jet making this wheel. This wheel and the Jet Sharpener had been taken off the market for over 4 years prior to late 2019 when the Jet sharpener was re-introduced to market under a different model number(JWS-10) but same design as the orginal. Jet has done this a few times in the nearly 20 years they have been selling the Jet wet stone wheel sharpener. The reason I mention this is that my 2 wheels (the one that came with my grinder and one that I bought about 8 years later) have never shown these large grits that you show. So I have to assume that they have a new supplier of grit. They probably kept the same formula for making the wheel but the supplier of grit has less quality control is my assumption. This is too bad. I have model JSSG-10 that is about 18 years old and again both my wheels the original one that came with the unit and the one I bought years later never showed these large grits. You should send a link to this video to Jet, maybe they'd can the supplier LOL. Also the Jet grinder design is also sold as the "Weldinger NSM 250", and also as the "Maschinen Markt NS 250" in the European market.

Thanks a lot for your knowledge sharing. I saw some of your wideos several times 😊 I have learned a lot from you.

Thanks Pete!

if you work a lot, why not use silicon carbide or cbn 80 grid.
I have a cbn 160 and after + -1000 knives it is still quite aggressive.
you can use CBN on an arganic bond, they are more tenacious than on a galvanic bond.
even though my sharpening cost is three times less than yours, the cbn completely pays for itself in comparison with tormek stones.

Great video! Thanks for the info.
