Title: Tormek Supergrind 2000
Post by: Hat on September 23, 2023, 11:44:46 PM
I nicked my honing wheel and looking to replace it with a new one. Will the Tormek LA-145 honing wheel fit?

No, the LA-145 only fits the smaller "T-4 size" machines.  The Supergrind uses the LA-220 (https://tormek.com/en/products/honing-wheels/leather-honing-wheels/la-220-leather-honing-wheel).

Depending on the nick, you might be able to sand it down and smooth it over a bit... since the leather wheel is used turning away from the edge, a nick doesn't mean it's no longer usable (depending on how bad it is of course.)  There also may be option of replacing the leather (although I haven't done it myself.)  You might consider contacting Tormek support and see what they say.
