The Tiger2000 is a nice compromise for the budget conscious folks who want a quality wet sharpener. For the cost of this unit and all the jigs you could dream of it is very possible your costs would still be less than that other "glamor" sharpener.
Most of the Jet and Tormek jigs will work on this machine and the only one that for sure doesn't is the planer/jointer knife jig. Rikon is the distributer for Scheppach in the US and is helpful should you have any questions.
The unit does have a smaller grinding wheel than the Jet and Tormek but for most folks in a hobby shop the life of the stone will be fairly long regardless.
The units motor is adequate for the task it is designed to do.
The tool rests clamp firmly in place and hold your jigs securely to ensure a solid sharpening surface.
I would recommend this unit to anyone who is considering buying a high priced wet grinder but having trouble swallowing the inflated price.

This is a good sharpener. I have never used the tormek so I can't vouch for it but this is a good product. It put an edge on a set of chisels that I had relegated to glue duty. can't wait to see what it can do for a set of 12" planer knives.
The manual is lacking however.

Well I've never owned a Tormek, so it's hard to make a direct comparison, but the Scheppach is almost half the price. I have not used it exstensively, but my impressions are all good. The chisels that I've sharpened and honed on it are sharper then they've ever been before, the set-up was quick and easy, and the machine seems sturdy and runs quietly.
The main drawback I've seen is the quality of the jigs, and the almost complete absence of english instructions. Though I'm pretty sure, due to the similarity of the machines, that Tormek jigs will work on the Scheppach. I have yet to test this though.
Overall, when you factor in the money saved, I am happy with the purchase.

Nice Machine
This machine is amazing. The instructions are a little hard to read but the pictures tell enough. My 14 year old son does most of the sharpening and he gets the toolsquite sharp.
