Title: how to get grinding wheel off Tormek 2006 super Grind?
Post by: dakbeach on September 19, 2025, 10:22:02 PM
I have a green model tormek 2006, I would like to remove the grinding wheel so I can put it in the original box and sell it.  I have never used it.  I bought the nicest setup that was available at the time. Options and stuff unbelievable. How do I get the wheel off?

Remove the honing wheel to expose the nut behind it. Remove that nut and you can take out the grindstone along with the main shaft. Finally, separating the grindstone from the main shaft may or may not be difficult. Depends on how much rust has accumulated. I broke my grindstone removing it, but the accumulation of rust was my own fault for not doing proper maintenance.

Some have reported using penetrating oil to get it loose.
