Hi everyone I am new to the forum and to Tormek.  Hope you can help.  Have been trying to sharpen an oval, angled skew chisel (HSS).  It was taking ages (about 2 hours) and still nowhere near.  We realised we needed to shape it first, so we got bench grinder with Tormek BGM-100.  Did all that, got it into shape, all looking promising.  Transferred skew over to the Tormek (black silicone) and once again it is barely touching it (we put black pen on both sides and even after 40mins much of it it was still visible, with only tiny areas removed).  As far as I can tell we've been doing everything 100% correct.  But maybe not!  Any suggestions please?  Is the differential between the diameter of the bench grinder and larger Tormek wheels a material factor?
Thanks for your help
