Got a great Deal on a Tormek T-8 and a Wen unit. The Wen is much louder and runs a bit faster RPM wise.

Thank you very much. When you say edge leading you mean your staring you pass from above the blade and come down passed the heal?

So it feels crazy sharp but after scoping it I see all the chips. Side profile is very defined. I progressed up to 1200 grit
