Waterlogging is a tricky little problem with the Tormek, though. Many have the Tormek rubber mat under it to catch the water.
I have that too. This rubber mat (RM-533) is on a wooden plate of 18mm plywood.
What I have done is the following:
1) the Tormek stands as far to the left as possible on this rubber mat
2) Under the plywood plate I put a piece of plywood of 3mm thickness on the left lath.
Now when water drips off the Tormek, it all flows to the right side of the rubber plate. I can easily reach that and dip it up with some kitchen paper.
I aim for a water drain on the right side, so that it immediately flows into a bucket.
That the Tormek is skewed 3 mm is not noticeable.
One thing I learned early on after purchasing the T8 was to keep the water trough as low as possible when the machine is running. After initial filling I let it run until the wheel absorbs the water. I then refill and lower trough so that wheel is submerged no more than a half inch. This significantly reduces spillage during use.
So do I. And when I change a stone, I also drain the stone well, in the water trough. Quite a lot of water still comes off there.
There are 3D-printed parts that work wonders too.
