Jeff,

Will the SJ-250 work on a Supergrind 2000?  I see it listed for the 2006 and T-7, but not the 2000. Also, is it available in the US yet?
Thanks for the help.

Jeff,
I was taking my Supergrind 2000 apart to clean it up and I could not get the stone off.  I had some corrosion on the "axle", washer and nut on the stone side that I tried to clean up but the stone would not come off.  Should it? Is the corrosion the only thing holding it on after the washer and nut are removed or is it epoxied on?  My machine has started to make some noise so I was trying to clean it up and see where the noise was coming from.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
Brad

Can I sharpen my wifes convex salon shears on my Tormek? If so how is it done?

I bought a Tormek Supergrind 2000 back in 2000 or 2001 at a Woodworking show in Tulsa Ok.  I use it mostly to sharpen lathe tools, planer/shaper knives, chisels and knives.  In the last year or so, I have noticed that i have a harder time honing the edges to a mirror shine. It just seems like I can't that ultimate edge that I used to get. While trying to figure out what I was doing wrong or different, I would try different amounts of pressure, more honing compound, less honing compound etc.  When using firm pressure, I thought maybe I was ruining the edge by rounding it over.  When using more gentle pressure, I can't get rid of the grinding marks.  The honing wheel is in good shape/not dried out. 

I try to maintain the grinding angle while honing but the edges seem sharper after grinding but before honing.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I may be doing wrong or different than was doing before?  I have considered getting a finer grit stone since I cant seem to hone anymore.
