Advice on Truing the T7

[Joe]

I need to tru the stone on my T7.  I read the instructions, but I am a little uncertain of how to do it.  Any advice or tips for a first-timer?

Have a look at the video http://tormek.com/international/en/accessories/other-accessories/tt-50-truing-tool/

This shows you how to do it easily.

Just take very small bites at it so you are only dressing it lightly.

If you take too big a bite it can chip the edge of the wheel of when getting close to the edge.

You will find if only doing flat tools that you will not need to dress very often, gouges tend to take the centre out so redressing is needed more often when you go back to the flat work.

Thank you very much.  Watching the video really helped. My stone was very uneven.  I adjusted only the minimum amount each time and made several passes and now the stone looks great.
