So I’m in this lucky situation that I Can get a lot of knives to sharpen 50-100 knives a day
My only concern is, it’s really time consuming, and I was planning to maybe get a Tormek t8 for the rough part of the sharpening.
I think about Tormek to avoid too much noice and dust.
I sharpen mainly for private ppl. So the knives are nothing fancy.
I will use the Tormek for chip repair and the first stage of sharpening, after that i will finish on 1000 k and a finish stone.
For the better jknives, I will still sharpen by freehand with Waterstones.
Do u guys have any experience with jigs, or machinery for that part.
Cons of the t8 the way I intend to use it.
Is it worth the money, contra the time it takes.
Or should I stick with Waterstones, maybe with a jig etc ?
