General Tormek Questions / Re:SE-76
May 14, 2008, 04:38:40 PM
Well I've looked at it, and decide that the jig is not square, it was off by a few degrees, if I put a plane blade into it, squared it up with the front of the stone, then put the locking circle on the steel post it runs on, then rotate it to the back, the rear end is between 1/16 and 1/32 inch off (I didn't actually measure).  I could see that it was out of square with the stone just by looking at it.

So I am trying to figure out a way to square it up, I've tried filing it by hand, but I'm not improving it.  Before I give up and just use it as a fancy plane blade holder (squaring it up as I described above, which rather takes away a lot of the reason why I bought the tormek in the first place) is there any suggestions anyone can give me on getting it trued?

General Tormek Questions / SE-76
January 28, 2008, 10:30:31 PM
I have just gotten a T-7 and for the life of me I cannot use the SE-76 as described to create a square sharpening on a plane blade, it is always skewed.  I have trued the stone several times, tried just about everything I can think of, but the blade continues to come out skewed by a little bit, not square.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Bob
