hello
I have had a problem trueing my T4 stone.
I use the TT50 tool and follow all the instructions, I also make sure everything is locked tight.
I start across the stone and all goes well until I reach the middle, then juddering start and the tool digs deep into the stone making deep marks. This was happening on many occcasions, and so I blamed the TT50, and went and bought the newer version of the tool thinking all would be well.
On the first use the same thing happened leaving me with a badly scored stone. After rechecking that verything was right I hit upon the idea that while the tool was travelling across the stone, I placed a finger underneath the tip of the tool rest supportung it , and that seems to work.
ON close scrutiny I find that where the tool rest enters the body, there is a slight play, so that the vibrations shifts it from its position even with all screws fully secure, I can hold on to the end of it and rock it slightly back and forth, this was enough to change the diamond setting and let it bite into the stone. Has anyone else had this prolem?
