why would this not use water?

Water is not necessary for these diamond wheels and they are not designed to run in water. Everything stays cool without the water. You are not grinding or shaping the knives, you are simply sharpening and honing. I have one of these in my kitchen and it's a pleasure to use.

How would the T2 compare to the Tormek T4 in terms of sharpening speed, and sharpening quality, if used for a small knife-sharpening side business?

Thanks for checking in. The T2 would work for you if you are intending to sharpen kitchen blades and not branch out into other edge - that is what it is designed for. It has the one diamond wheel in a 600 grit and you can add a 320 wheel for repair and reshaping edges more quickly. It has a 7 year warranty. You can use it to sharpen other types of edges as well it just won't work with the other Tormek jigs. The T4 is going to be more versatile as you can add their other jigs to expand out beyond kitchen blades. Tormek doesn't rate the T4 for continuous operation and they recommend 30 minutes on and 30 minutes off. Depending on how busy your side line is that might work. It has a 2 year warranty when used commercially. If your volume is heavier then the T8 may be the best choice. It is rated for continuous operation and has a 7 year warranty including commercial uses. I hope that helps. If you have other questions feel free to contact me via my sellers link - I'm happy to help out.

can you grind/shape away imperfections (low points of the edge that don't touch the cutting board)? grind/shape an edge to a new angle?

Thanks for checking in. So generally speaking yes - this will allow you to set a new angle and to grind away damage in the blade. If you need to remove a lot of metal for the repair I'd suggest an alternate method to save the diamond surface on the T2. Also, if the blade is sharpened so that it no longer contacts the cutting board because the bolster is in the way - ie you need to grind away and reshape the bolster - then I wouldn't suggest using this to do that either. I hope that helps. Feel free to contact me by my sellers link if you have other questions

Is this t-2 pro version 1 or 2? it's priced in-line with v2, but i want to be certain
