DOUBLE-SIDED UNIVERSAL SUPPORT

Two wheels works well with Tormek's USB-430 extended universal support bar. Just loosen it, flip it around, and tighten it down. No need to adjust the height setting for the second wheel (assuming both are the same diameter, of course).

However, a double-sided USB works even better. Then there is no need to loosen, flip around, and tighten.

Great thread, what is the part # for the double sided universal support and where did get it?
Thanks

CONCLUSION

Such a setup with both wheels in water baths can save money, space, time, and electricity.

Knife grinders have the double taper wheels in stock, received notification last night and promptly placed order. Sure would like one of those $$$ Kangaroo strops. Interesting reading had no idea what a guarded resource they are.

I contacted Knife Grinders on the 2nd of this month about the double bevel felt wheel. Vadim promptly replied the wheel will be available at the end of Jan for those on wait list. Spendy but necessary as have a lot of customers that prefer to use serrated knives in the kitchen especially if their kids help with food prep.

Very nice setup, I like the table top space on the sides for whatever you've got lined up to be worked on. What's the final height?

Greetings
I recently acquired a used T-7 and am in the process of refurbishing the unit. I'm looking for a split felt wheel rock hard or flint 10" for burr removal on serrated knives. I noticed some of you use a felt wheel for polishing could you direct me to a vendor. Thank you

Knifegrinders sells them... KnifeGrinders Equipment

(I thought SchleifJunkies did too, but don't seem the on the website... but he has other things you might find of interest).
I just read your post on bladeforum about the replacing the stop nut on the knife jig to compensate for blade curvature, brilliant! Thank you for the link. This T-7 dropped from the heavens to me for a pittance of $40.00,but The accessories are adding up fast.

Thank you for the link. I took three years of German in High school(Stone Age) and actually ordered some Tormek accessories from Germany so this will work for me as I can read it better than speak it.
I ordered a Mafell track saw and that is a thing of beauty.
