I have the Tormek system which I must admit is great to use and I get a constant shape and edge on my tools. However if and when I need to replace anything I think that I will go for the Pro Edge. I gave my Tormek a major overhaul last year as it required a new wheel. The old wheel had seized on the shaft and I ended up having to buy a replacement shaft with the easi lock system on it. The whole repair was the best part of £180 had I been aware of the Pro Edge at the time I would have definitely gone down that route. In your case Jim like others have said I would be tempted to save a few more pennies up and get the Pro Edge.

[QUOTE="Vic Perrin, post: 162533, member: 422"] I have the Tormek system which I must admit is great to use and I get a constant shape and edge on my tools. However if and when I need to replace anything I think that I will go for the Pro Edge. I gave my Tormek a major overhaul last year as it required a new wheel. The old wheel had seized on the shaft and I ended up having to buy a replacement shaft with the easi lock system on it. The whole repair was the best part of £180 had I been aware of the Pro Edge at the time I would have definitely gone down that route. In your case Jim like others have said I would be tempted to save a few more pennies up and get the Pro Edge. :thinks:Vic:thinks: [/QUOTE]
