Title: BGM-100 / TT -50
Post by: Sawdust_Bob on July 22, 2009, 03:39:30 PM
Can the TT-50 be used with the BGM-100 to true a bench grinder wheel?

Sort of, but it takes a great deal of care and a little bit of ingenuity.

You have to put it on upside down and backwards (depending on which side of the grinder you put your BGM-100 on).  :-\  The fork which insures proper alignment of the TT-50 cannot be used (on either side). You have to tweak the angle of the TT-50 so that the cutting tip is relatively flat to the grindstone. It is absolutely vital that you take very, very fine cuts off the grindstone -- much shallower than on the Tormek.

It is not a recommended application of the TT-50.
