With this unique diamond truing tool, you can true and dress your grindstone exactly round and flat. You can conveniently, and without pressing with your thumbs, feed the diamond cutter across the stone. You achieve an even feeding by alternately turning the two knobs with both your hands. The feed can be made in both directions. Thanks to the controlled feed, you get an even and flat stone surface with no ridges. There is no need to flatten afterwards with. The slower you feed, the finer the surface you will achieve. A traverse time of 90 seconds across the stone gives you a good finish with hardly any visible grooves. For use with the Tormek T-8 and T-4 sharpening systems.

I couldn’t afford the Tormek system so after reading many reviews and watching many YouTube’s I decided to try the comparable Jet model at about 1/4 the price. I like the Jet sharpener a lot and have experienced great results with it on all of my bench chisels, mortise chisels, lathe chisels, carving chisels, and plane blades. But I quickly wore a groove down the center of my grinding wheel and realized I needed to resurface and true it up. I then read the reviews for the more expensive Jet truing tool and saw most of those reviews were one star and reported the diamond coating on the unit wore off after about five minutes. One of the reviewers suggested getting the less expensive Tormek truing tool instead, so I did. I used it today and was astonished that in about one minute worth of work, my grinding wheel was perfectly trued and smooth the groove gone. I’ll be looking at other Tormek jigs now. Thank you for a great product, I wish your grinders were more price friendly.

Flattened my wen sharpener 10" stone with no problem

I have a wen sharpening system and needed a way to true up the stone. I figured getting a tormek product would be the best solution. But once cry once sort of thing, since I'm on a budget. The alignment slot that goes on the tool rest post couldn't reach fully. When I had it aligned on the post, it wouldn't reach the other side of the stone fully so I had to just crank it down a little more and move it off of the vertical post. It also jumps around like crazy when going over the stone. I don't know if that's because I can't have it secured on the vertical post or not. I saw some videos of people using it on an actual tormek and they were having the same issue. Some people said to hold pressure on the part that goes across the stone to keep it from jumping around. But I feel like even though it's not vertically aligned like intended, it shouldn't jump around like that. I don't know. I'm new to all this stuff so maybe it's user error. But I'm sure with a little ingenuity I can find a way to make it work. I just wish that, for the money I paid, I would be good to go

Das Set wird in einer kleinen Kartonverpackung geliefert.Die Abdrehvorrichtung mach einen sehr gut verarbeiteten und stabilen Eindruck. Die Anwendung gestaltet sich sehr einfach in ca. 10-15 Minuten ist der Stein perfekt abgerichtet. Ich habe die Vorrichtung auf einer Scheppach TIGER 2500 mit dem Standardstein benutz was perfekt funktionierte.Ich habe zu erst mit einem WInkelmessser die Maschine ins Wasser gesetzt danach die Führungsstange ebenfalls mit der Wasserwage kontrolliert. Dann setzt man die Abdrehvorrichtung auf die Stange und fixiert diese so das etwa 0,1 bis 0,2 mm abgetragen werden. Es ist wichtig das man nicht zu viel auf einmal abträgt da man ansonsten den kleinen Abrichtdorn zu stark verbraucht, dieser ist nur aus Kupfer welches mit kleinen Diamantsplittern durchsetzt ist.Daher wie gesagt nur 0,1-0,2mm auf einmal Abtragen. Dazu dann die Maschiene einschalten und mit dem kleinen Drehrad den Dorn von links nach rechts fahren. Dann wieder etwas zustellen und noch einmal abtragen bis keine Riefen mehr im Stein zu sehen sind.Bei meinem stark beanspruchten Stein habe ich 10-15 Minuten gebraucht, ist er einmal abgerichtet und wartet man nicht zu lange mit dem Planen lässt es sich sicher auch in 5-10 Minuten bewerkstelligen.Vorher / Nachher Bilder habe ich im Anhang eingestellt.Preislich ist die Vorrichtung sicherlich nicht gerade günstig, dafür bekommt man aber wirklich ein perfekt funktionierendes Zubehörteil (viel besser als die Abrehvorrichtung von Scheppach). Würde die Vorrichtung jederzeit wieder kaufen.

This little tool is good at what it does. I watched both this Tormek and another cheaper tool on YouTube. This seemed much easier to use, and so it proved to be, although it was more expensive. It took two shallow ( about.1mm ) passes to achieve a flat, round stone. It’s now the best it’s ever been. It’s expensive for a tool that wii be used infrequently but there’s no alternative. The side that screws to the cross bar has a wedge shaped hole and locks firmly into place. There is no play in the thread but a little in cutter holder and it does vibrate if you don’t take it slowly. Overall I recommend.

Arrived today and immediately used it on the Grizzly T100010 wet grinder wheel. With no micro adjuster, it has to be carefully set by hand but I found that to be quite easy. I started the cut and immediately backed off to double check the depth of cut. It looked perfect. Completed the cut and no second cut was required. The wheel looked perfectly round and flat.After thinking about the micro adjuster on the Tormek Grinder, I think a simple modification to the Grizzly support is to cut threads using a die on one leg of the Grizzly support and then insert a nut into a disc for the adjustment wheel. You can measure how much the support is raised and lowered in one complete turn of the wheel, then mark the wheel with the corresponding increments.I plan to do this and will update this later with the results.I cut the threads onto the support leg closest to the wheel using a UNF 1/2-20 die. I tried to find a knurled flat nut with matching threads but I was only able to find one in coarse thread 1/2-13. You can buy the Tormek one separately but you then have to match their threads. So I ended up using a standard 1/2-20 zinc coated steel hex nut and inserted it into 1.125 inch diameter disc made from 1/2 in plywood. I now have a Grizzly T100010 with a micro-adjustable support.
