[Woodcarver] Tormek/Jet Sharpening Systems

[Larry Odegard]

I work part time at a Rockler's (Great Discount).
We were getting a lot of the Jet ones back because the
tool rest is made out of a softer rod than the Tormek.
 It bends real easily and that throws off the jigs you
use.
Otherwise it seems to have some added features that
may be valuable to some.
I need to honestly say that I own a Tormek and love
it---maybe to the point of bias against the Jet---but
the bending is a fact!
