Honing wheel on T8 not running true

[Martinwilliamson]

Hi - i recently purchased a T8 (in August) and the honing wheel does not run true - i thought it may be me but after buying a composite wheel it has not solved the problem - can anyone help - i have taken the honing wheel off and the whole mechanism seems to wobble - should it be like this?

This has come up before, and no, it shouldn't be that way.  Contact Tormek Support.

Was there ever a solution from Tormek???

I had a honing wheel problem and Tormek sent new wheel.

I had same problem. It was not the honing wheel.  It was the drive wheel. I contacted support. Received new drive wheel in a few days.  Problem solved.

See my note about the same thing as you.
