I had hoped to post a link for a picture but Grizzly doesn't have their web site updated for the new 2008 catalog yet.
Enneyhow, on the back page there is a new sharpener [T10010] shown for $169.95. Some say it is a Tormek clone. I dunno.
Enneyhow again, it looks like it has real possibilities for me to add to my collection of sharpeners that don't work.
I already have the G1036, which I have had for quite a few years.

It has seen very little use because, IMHO, the wet wheel is just too fine a grit to really sharpen. It just sorta polishes the edge.
The new T10010 has a 220 grit wheel and I'm concerned it will not give any different results. Currently I use an 80 grit blue, delightfully out-of-round, wheel freehand.
Griz doesn't state what grit the wheel is on the G1036. I have an angle/clamp/guide thingy for the G1036 that cost almost as much as the machine. Recently, the big wet wheel cracked for no apparent reason. It is replaceable for $30.00 and I'm wondering what the best course of action might be.
