I just purchased my T-4 and am learning to use it. Great tool!
After about 1-2 hours of operation (not continuous), my stone and strop (wheels) began to pulsate (or jerk). I have scuffed up the rubber wheel (under the strop) as directed in the video, but this makes no difference. The wheels continue to turn, but there is a definite pulse with each rotation. Can anyone help me solve this problem? I'd greatly appreciate your help. CMS
A few points of clarification:
I stopped my Tormek periodically. It was not running continually.
The pulsating only happens when I apply pressure with the tool I am sharpening to the stone or strop.
