I have several round cutoff blades @ 3" dia. w/ a single beveled edge of 15 deg.  would anyone know of a fixture that would work on a Tormek? These blades are .055 thick x 3" dia. with a .500 thru hole in center. I need to find a way to sharpen these on a Tormek, any ideas would be appreciated. Jim ;D

Insert a long 1/2" bolt through the hole and fasten with a pair of nuts.  Let the bolt prutrude slightly past the nut on the side with the bevel, so that it can rest on the universal tool support.  You should be able to rotate it so that you get the same angle bevel all the way around.

I don't know if this'll work, but I'd give it a try.
