Title: Directory of Owners
Post by: Jambe on August 11, 2013, 12:00:52 AM

Just registered today, August 10, 2013. Typing August 10 just reminded me that I joined the USAF 53 years ago today!

I'm curious if there is some way to find an owner of a Tormek system near where I live--the top of Utah in Cache Valley/Logan.

I am developing a prototype tool which needs to be sharpened with more precision than I can do with a bench grinder. Either 0.083 or 0.120 mild steel.

I tried to find a spec on the width of the grinding wheel but was unsuccessful--2.25" would be ideal, since that is the width of shaping/sharpening that needs to be done--eight places.

BTW, I think Simple Machines forum software is the best.  :)

The grindstones for the T7 have a width of 5.0 cm (1-31/32").

So, just a fuzz under two inches.

Every sharpening operation with the Tormek that I'm aware of involves moving the tool from side to side, anyway.
