Hello sharpening friends!
I have read and studied several of your tips on how to solve different problems. Very interesting and fun to see how the rest of you found clever solutions. Thank you.
Now I thought I would contribute with a small tool that I printed with the help of a 3D printer and that I have greatly benefited from when setting up my Tormek T8
It can be used to measure the diameter of the grinding wheel, height of USB from both the machine and the grinding wheel. I also use it to measure or set the length of the grinding jig.
What I'm most fond of is setting the angle using it, the ruler is 1mm thick and the distance underneath is 6mm so it's consistent with the jig's center line broadly. It is much easier to set the right degrees because you don't use the jig with a knife on it.
I do not attach a drawing or any measure because the only measure that is important is 6mm according to figure1. And that surface A and B are parallel with each other.
I think the pictures describe enough if someone is thinking of developing their own. I hope it can be a joy for any of you!
Regards
