Stone not round.

I am new to the forum because I have a problem with my SG 200 Stone on my Tormac  T3. It is badly out of round. First I am not sure why it got that way (I never leave it in the water) and second I don't know how to correct it. As I am about to send off for some new accessories, I wonder if there is something I can buy to make my stone perfectly concentric.

Will a TT-50 Truing tool sort this problem ?

Since I want to start sharpening my Planar blades I think a perfect round stone is essential.

That is what the truing tool is for. If you have one, that is all you need. If you do not have one, then you need one. Water would not cause the stone to go out of round. Maybe if the water froze in the stone it would bulge or split but I am just guessing there.
You can use less of more but you cannot make more of less.
