General Tormek Questions / Re: Considering a T-7

Yes it does look like a job that's in 'the too hard' basket.

How about if 2 guys, one on each end, coordinate a steady & straight movement of the blade freehand like you say but keep  a  focused attention on the water level adhering to the blade, as the grinder turns, like on the demo tapes for ordinary chisels & straight-edged knives? Maybe a 3rd guy looking at it straight on, is needed for that?

The guillotine blade is a perfect rectangular piece of metal. It's not a samurai sword but it is longer than the average machete.

Hi:

I'm buying a T-7 TORMEK in very early January and already have it ordered.

My question is I've already been asked to sharpen 2 very long mechanical paper guillotine blades which are at least 1.5+ foot long.

Is it possible to sharpen something that long on this machine?
or is a special elongated mounting jig necessary?
