Hello.
I simply cannot get good results using the supplied honing wheel.
I have made a wooden wheel with leather surface 200mm diameter and 40mm wide.
It has a great deal of promise as I keep the knives in the jig, change to this wheel and hone.
It is very much better than using the original wheel.
But!
I very much would like to purchase a 200mm fully circular wobble free leather or felt or whatever wheel, but cannot find anything.
It would be excellent if Tormek would produce a 200mm honing wheel, but in the meantime, has anyone any ideas?
Apologies!
I should have said a 200mm wheel to fit in place of the supplied one (at that end of the machine)

I googled "200mm leather wheel" and found several, some specifically for the Tormek.  Not sure why you're not seeing it?
