Title: Honing wheel
Post by: Lennart Bossér on January 13, 2025, 08:40:09 PM
Hi!
Someone has used our honing wheel (Tormek T8 Black) in counter grinding mode causing an ugly scratch, but not very deep. Is there any way to restore it? Eg. bý sanding it down?

Best regards,
Lennart

If it is just a scratch, I would not really bother doing anything other than using it properly, edge trailing. A small bump won't be an issue, and will get smoothed out overtime.

If there is a bit of leather that has been cut and stays raised, i'd carefully trim that off, removing as little as possible so whatever is left of the scratch gets pressed down when honing, rather than lifted and folded backwards.

I cut mine.  All my newbie glory,,,,,  It still keeps on trucking on.  It does have annoying bump now.  When I use up the little bit of paste I have, I'm buying the dry wheel.
