I bought this over 20 years ago and haven't used it for a long time. I find I can't remember how to sharpen chisels. I remember holding the jig over the protruding arm of the support with the wheel turning away from me. If I do this it the chisel is at a very steep angle and I have to lean very far over the arm. What am I doing wrong. Please be patient, I'm now 75!
Kiki,
From one 75 year old to another, welcome to the forum. Your chisel memories will soon return. A fairly recent innovation at Tormek originally caused by the Covid shut down in the Tormek Online Classes, an ongoing series of more than twenty video clases. The third class deals specifically with chisels. Here is a link:

The classes are taught by Tormek's top trainers. One of their primary advantages is the ability to be watched multiple times. I find that I learn more from each watching. The chisel class is a very good starting point, although, I believe you will benefit from many of them.
A second suggestion is to register your Tormek online (www.tormek.com). Registration allows you to view and download the latest version of the handbook, a valuable reference. There is no charge for either the online classes or the online handbook. Incidentally, the online classes are available in Swedish, English, French and German and the handbook is available in at least a dozen languages.
Please keep posting. You are among friends. We are all learning.

On the money Ken. Look through the playlist and find the videos that you need. You will find one on chisel sharpening.
