Hi,
This is my first time posting here. I got my new T-8 about a month ago and I've been diligently sharpening every tool in my shop. Today I slipped while sharpening a chisel and put a gouge in the stone. So I got out the TT-50 to clean up the wheel and the tool froze up on me. It seems like the plastic knob is frozen up in the bushing in the side of the tool. The part that holds the cutter that goes back and forth on the threaded rod seems to be free, so I don't think that is the problem.
I emailed the seller tonight, and hopefully they'll help me out under warranty. Unfortunately, I'm sitting here with a damaged stone and no way to fix it until I hear back from them. I suspect that if I could get the tool apart I could fix it, at least temporarily. This thing doesn't want to come apart though. Has anyone ever taken a TT-50 apart? I'd appreciate any advise anyone has.
