General Tormek Questions / Re: changes
July 09, 2014, 11:36:35 AM
Some words from Sweden may answer some questions.
Jeff Farris is still moderating this forum, but as the Tormek Moderator.
For the older members at this forum, Jeff is the man to ask questions. But for new members a moderator feels more naturally to ask and also there is several members with knowledge that are regularly here to welcome and help both new and old members.
I have been reading this forum since I started working at Tormek 4 years ago and have learned a lot of all the experience here.
I have not been so active but will be here some more in the future. Some of you have asked question to the support mail at our website and I am one of two that is in charge of that.
Tormek want´s this Forum to grow as we have more and more new Tormek users that need your help and support and also help from us. As it´s today, our support mail got more questions than on this Forum and many of the questions asked is already on this forum with great answers. We are proud of this Forum and will try to highlight it more.
So Yes, there are some changes but we believe that those are for the better and can give new and old Tormek users good information.
In Scandinavia there is now industrial holiday and our office is closed to 4 of August. I have a bad habit of checking my mail anyhow and will check this forum also once a while under my days of.
I will end this with a thanks to all of our members who are here almost on a daily basis and welcomes new members with help and make this Forum as is it, we are proud of our Forum and also proud of you making an effort to have a high standard here!
All the best,
Stig

Knife Sharpening / Re: the learning curve.
May 21, 2014, 08:39:44 AM
It´s possible to shape a tool on the Tormek, but it takes more time than an drygrinder. The SB-250 Blackstone makes it faster than the SG-250 standard stone.
As Rob wrote, higher speed makes it throw water. Our motor can handle high pressure instead that will remove material faster.
When you are about to shape a tool, you need to use the stonegrader frequently, you want the stone to be at 220 grid.
And if you don´t do that, it takes longer because you are slowly making the stones grid finer and finer.
However, if you are shaping tool very often, the BGM-100 kit will make the process faster but you need to be very careful not to damage the tools with the heat.

Knife Sharpening / Re: the learning curve.
May 05, 2014, 09:38:31 AM
Hi all,
I have followed this discussion and first thought I should not take part of it but since knives are my favourite tool to sharpen, I want to share some info.
We can agree that we all want that perfect edge line from the heel to the tip of the knife. And that´s a bit tricky.
I guess mostly of you will find that the tip has a wider edge line than rest of the knife?
The knife jig´s design and function is very good but it will not work on every knife with the same adjustment or movement pattern. And we have to remember how many different types of knifes there is!
For chef´s knife it is very good to lift the handle upwards when you come to the tip instead of following the curve and drag the handle to you.
For hunting knives with a thicker blade , then you can follow the curve on the blade, but use a marker on both side´s an adjust the jig to find the right angle.
Knifes with small blades, use the SVM-00, with the same movement as for the chef´s knife.
Jeff Farris made a video about sharpening knifes and about 5 minutes in it, you can see that he lift the tip instead of following the curve.

Japanese knifes are really hot right now and there are a lot of discussion how to sharpen those the best way.
There are 3 things to think of, and that is witch material the blade has, use the right angle and a good wetstone.
I have a 90X magnifier available that I use sometimes to see how the edge looks like before and after sharpening, new or used knifes but also to see the difference between the stones. (SG-250, SB-250 and SJ-250) It has been helpful but it´s a bit over what you need to do.
All I need is a paper, or use my nail to see if the edge is gripping or simply test if it cuts away my arm hear. If it does, it´s sharp! And it always does.
And if you want to try on a tomato?

There is much more to write about knifes but it would take me to long but ask a question and I will do my best to answer it.
Knife sharpening is fun but you´ll need time to learn all the differences on the blades to get it right!

Knife Sharpening / Re: Sharpening a Global knife, before and after!
April 14, 2014, 08:59:09 AM
I started with the coarse side, the Global knife feels very hard even if it´s about 56-58 rockwell but when I passed all the nicks I used the fine side.
I finished it with the honing wheel of course, getting it as sharp as it can get and the edge will last longer.

Got this knife on a fair last week and it took me about 7-8 minutes to get it as good as new.
