Heads up to anyone interested in a Tormek in the Minneapolis area. Rockler a Ridgdale has a unadvertised special on Tormek. Regular price $399 and they are selling their quantiy on hand for $100 off so $299 for the Tormek Supergrind 2006. I bought one this afternoon and there is one left. This was at the Rockler in Minnetonka.

They're probably doing that because Jet is introducing their Tormek clone at Woodcraft this weekend. About the same price as a Tormek but apparently comes with a $100 in accessories for free. No idea how it performs versus Tormek.
Saw one today. Looks about the same, a real knock-off, but with bells and whistles. I asked about the price of the 10-inch Jet grindstone and was told they expect it to be about the same as the Tormek, but it hadn't been listed yet. Nice looking, better features, but I'd sure wait for user reports.
