I would not buy it, but if I can get it for free..why not. I sharpen by hand but sometimes there is a need for a grinding wheel. I have a simple dry grinder where heat can be a problem. A Tormek is a wet grinder if I am right and that makes it less prone to heat problems. If you have the space it won’t hurt you. If one day you need a lot of metal to remove, you will be glad to have that Tormek. Especially if you have A2 steel.
BTW I use a grinder when I need to lower an angle of a chisel for example or when there is severe damage.
