Workshop tools my new addition!

[raymo147]

Just got myself a secondhand tormek grinder!
Can't believe the difference it makes when sharpening tools
Compared to just a stone!
Could probably shave with my plane blades it's that sharp!
Would say its a must have for any cuemaker!
Here's a photo although mines is the older one:

i have one of these, amazing eh - every 6/9 months or so i go through a sharpening bender when i do all tools, garden tools, kitchen knives the lot. if you have the courage you can also use them to fit a tip in about 2 seconds.

[raymo147]
