Hello,

I have a brand new Tormek T-8. After about one hour of use, it suddenly stops. The motor is completely dead and makes no sound at all. After approximately five minutes, it starts working again by itself.

The motor housing is only slightly warm, not hot, and the grinding wheel turns freely by hand when the machine has stopped.

I have sharpened around 20–30 knives and have probably used fairly heavy pressure while grinding.

Is this normal behavior, or could there be a fault with the machine?

Thank you.

Contact support and ask them. They will sort it out.

Not something that should be happening.
