Tormek T-1 and T-2 / Re: T1 Help needed

Thank you for your answers. Just to be on the safe side: I grind one side of the knife until I have a burr on the other side? Only then do I grind the other side?
Best

Tormek T-1 and T-2 / T1 Help needed
May 31, 2024, 12:22:04 PM
Hello, I have bought a T-1. Unfortunately, I'm not getting good results with it. I have a professionally sharpened knife that is no longer sharp. The grinding angle was 20 degrees. As indicated in the enclosed operating instructions, I set the T-1 to ~17.5 degrees and pressed the blade slightly downwards in the guide (with the machine running). As shown in the video, I moved one side of the blade back and forth several times with light pressure. This should be done until a burr appears on the opposite side of the blade; then the other side of the blade should be processed in the same way. My problem: There is no burr and the sharpening result is mediocre at best. Any thoughts?
Thank you
Thomas
