Good morning. I have an old Supergrind 2000 which I have been very happy with. But over the last year, it seems to lose power after being used for a while, like 15-20 minutes. It does not take much power to stop the wheel from turning. Could there be a problem with the motor or a drive belt that needs replacing?
Your friction wheel may be wearing or glossed over causing slippage. I would contact Tormek support.
If that is the issue, then replace the old plastic wheel with the newer, metal one.
Try sandpaper first.

There is no belt, it is a shaft & friction wheel. My SuperGrind 2000 was doing the same thing. I cleaned both with alcohol problem went away. Take off the honing wheel for easy access.
