Does anyone know if the Grizzly slow speed wet sharpener and the Tormek have interchangeable jigs (like the JET does with Tormek)?

I'm getting close to makin' a purchase. :)
Thank you!

Juan,

As far as I know they are all interchangeable. The one exception is the jointer/planer knife jig. The diameter of the tool rest is the same on all of them. It is the spread of the posts on the tool rest that is different. Therefore since the jointer/planer knife jig has its own posts that mount into the machine. They will not interchange. The jet and Tormek have the same spread. However Jet does not make this particular Jig for there machine. I am thinking it may be a patent issue.

I haven't heard of any compatibility issue on fixtures yet. Looks like everyone is using the same bar diameter. I use tormek jigs on my HF grinder :D
