General Tormek Questions / glazing questions
January 01, 2010, 08:13:07 PM
Hi,
I am an new user of the T7.  So far I love it, and have been able to achieve some very sharp edges, but I do have some glazing questions.

1.  Is glazing associated with impurities in steal, dirt, water quality, chemical reactions, etc?  What is the science behind it?
2.  Do certain types of steal produce glazing more than others?
3.  I am getting glazing after 2 or 3 minutes of grinding some chisels that do not have a hollow grind.  They are large sorby timber framing chisels.  The glazing is streaky and is concentrated in the area close to the magnet. Cleaning the water and magnet area of the tray do not greatly slow the time it takes to glaze the wheel.  I spend 3 minutes grind, and then 2 minutes dressing.  This this normal, or is the some sort of user error?

Thanks,
J
