General Tormek Questions / truing trouble
December 02, 2009, 07:37:07 AM
hi,
like i mentioned in another post, i hadn't used my supergrind 2006 much and recently started to.

i am having trouble truing with the older ADV-50D truing tool. i think i am following all the instructions both in the handbook, and Jeff's tips on this forum.

the stone i am getting seems to be slightly deeper (by about 0.006") on the honing wheel side of the stone. tried thrice today and thought i'll stop and ask. (like it is recommended for the planer jig, i am pressing down on the support before i lock it.)

the bronze tip of the tool has more than one wear angle mainly because i rotated it once to align the diamond stones to top side as recommended in the manual. not sure if this matters, but thought i'd mention.

btw, how much of run out is tolerable. if i look a the stone's side profile i see some lateral movement as the stone rotates.

thanks in advance!

hi,
my straight edge jig binds on the universal support at the end where only one of the mounting holes are on the support (when i am inserting/removing the jig.) i tried wiping/waxing the support but didn't really help. i can see the binding pattern (stripes) on the support bar.

i am an infrequent user, mainly because i use my hand tools infrequently.

i am sharpening a bunch of chisels now and towards the end i noticed this problem much more.

any help appreciated.

thanks,
sanjay
