Hello, new to the forum, I have a 250x50 old wheel that has a flat spot on ot, Someone said it was because the stone has been left sitting in water!!, be that as it may, I need to make the stone round again, how is the best way to achieve that please. E mail, kit49@mail.com I live in the United Kingdom.
Thank you for any help with this small problem.

This is no different that truing an out of round stone, using the truing tool, as that is all the flat is, just on a different scale/geometry. Hopefully the flat is not huge, requiring removal of a lot of the stone's diameter, but entirely doable.
If you don't have a truing tool, you should have one, so the "investment" is more of a necessity. If you have to buy one, make sure it is the "updated" version.

Well stated, Rick.

Chris,
The latest Tormek online class (molding cutter sharpening) has a very well done, thorough demonstration aboutusing the TT-50 truing tool. It starts at 6min/30 seconds. Hereis the link:
