good tip from Maxtheknife

i forgot to add, i have heard that Wolf does not sell their arms any longer unless you have history with them......rumor maybe, but my buddy tried to purchase an arm and was denied.  i think he said he Sharpening supplies is where he bought his arm and clamp....FYI

Thanks for the additional info Max. The TAS arm definitely looks much thicker and sturdier. The arms are for sale on the Wolff site, but I just had a closer look and it says "Available as exchange only with existing arm assembly from a machine with serial number. A $40.00 credit is available with the return of the 'worn' arm assembly." Maybe they don't like people using their arms on other machines like the Viel.

That rules about the TAS arm for me, so it looks like I'll give the Viel a try. I also have a Tormek and was initially going to order their scissor jig, but it sounds like it is too slow, which is usually the case with the Tormek.
