Wondering what the difference between it and the T-3 is and if the T-7 is changing as well?

Knife Sharpening / Kitchen knife storage
July 04, 2014, 12:49:36 AM
Haven't been on for a while, between my old hard drive crash and work hours going up. I remembered a post here:
http://forum.tormek.com/index.php?topic=1471.msg4814#msg4814
Where Jeff Farris mentions "Store knives in a block on the counter, not in a drawer." I hope he will respond to this, as I expect he is talking about loose. I am designing my future kitchen build, and one idea I like is putting a knife block in a drawer, dedicated to the knives and the cutting board stuff. (lack of counter space, makes me not want a block, or I will hang one under the counter)
I might have the wrong forum for this (seen knife questions in different area's), so move if appropriate.
Also, anyone use/sharpen Dexter Russel knives? (given some by a friend, as they were dull and his restaurant replaced them)

Knife Sharpening / Serrated knife, serrations angle?
November 18, 2013, 05:55:37 AM
I've read about sharpening a serrated knife on the grinding wheel then buffing it and what I saw sounded like buffing it between the serrations on the buffing wheel. What angle are serrations typically or is there a typical?
Thanks

General Tormek Questions / New here, Tormek Refurbish how to?
October 27, 2013, 05:23:37 PM
In mid, 2010, I purchased a Tormek from a local man, who didn't like it. He was given it by a friend who died from cancer, after helping him clear out his shop, so his wife didn't have to. Lack of practice and the reminder of his friend was why he sold it, and I was lucky enough to find it on CL for a good deal.
Last year, I was finally ready to start learning when an emergency at work, drove up my hours (70 hours a week for several months). Spring hit and I moved outside (house projects), and now winter is just about here and I am straightening up the shop and going to learn.
I ordered the jigs I didn't have, as the late fellow that had this was a turner (I have no lathe yet). I wanted one for years, but couldn't justify it and just took a lot of time to refurb used plane blades.
Being this has sat this long, I went through 30+ pages and didn't really see a write up about refurbishing these. I saw bits and pieces.
The prior owner had the stone rust on the shaft. He chipped it getting it off and bought a replacement. Since the shaft had rust, I removed it, and now my father has (already worked the chip out), the old stone, shaft and water trough. (planned project, a treadle version)
Does one replace the bushings, automatically, when they install the new shaft? (I know I should lube either, and the old shafts were taught to lightly lube, I am guessing the stainless do not need lube)
What else to look at on the underside? (need to record the model number so I can download the newer manual)
I tend to see lazy susan's at garage sales, so plan on going that method for it. (wondering if others have done it, as I am wondering about drilling a stop bolt hole in one)
Headed out to work, so may be more later (still have to read the last of the forum pages),
Thanks all.
