I have the Jet wet stone grinder, works a treat. I had it long before getting into turning, I use it for the primary bevels on plane irons and chisel. I use the Veritas mark 2 honing guide for the secondary bevel and micro bevel.
Having got into turning it was the obvious way to go for the tools. What I would say is the Tormek jigs are much better that the Jet ones and I guess the same could will be true for the Triton ones. I have quite a collection of jigs and while they have cost a lot, they were mainly bought on eBay, as the need arose over a number of years.
I found the water is not to much of a problem, I have a 5 litre container that I top up from the tumble dryer when it's used to stop lime scale forming in the water tray. I attach a large steel washer in the bottom of the water tray using a rare earth magnet, this collects the metal removed from the tools, helping to keep the stone cleaner. At the end of a grinding session I take the tray off the machine and rinse it out.
Regards,
Dave
My tool kit is almost complete, only a few more to get.
