That did it!  After sanding the shaft I put some force on the wheel with the course stone.  Didn't slow it down at all.

Thanks for all the work you did on the instruction DVD.  Very informative.  I'll have to watch it a few more times and practice some before I get it down but it was a great help putting the manual to images.

By the way, I've sharpened one of my axes and had some "fun" chopping up some hickory for tonights BBQ.  I have never had a better time cutting firewood.  That blade is SHARP!

Thanks again.

I received my T-7 yesterday and had fun sharpening some chisels, gouges and skews into the night. I had one little problem and that is the grinding wheel would stop easily while using the stone grader and occasionally while sharpening gouges. Could this be because the machine is new and still tight?  I have double checked that the grinding wheel is on tightly and the honing wheel is on quite snug. I was using a firm pressure as some of the tools needed reshaping, but I'm sure the pressure wasn't excessive. Thanks for any reply.  I have an axe to grind now. Two of them!
