the picture didn't work so I'll try this way.

General Tormek Questions / new with questions
December 24, 2006, 01:20:05 AM
Hi I just found this group and have already answered a lot of my questions but I do have a couple questions regarding the Tormeck system.
My dad bought a SG2000 new and used it only a couple times and now I have it. My questions mainly pertain to the leather honing wheels.
First off I noticed the wheel on a demo model was quite smooth and black. Mine is gray and a little fuzzy and the profile wheel looks almost new (hopefully the picture will post)
Now I?ve been reading about applying mineral oil to these wheels. I don?t have the maintenance kit or setup DVD so if I could get a bit of guidance here that would be great.
How much oil do I apply?
How do you apply it? (Assume with a brush)
How often?
So far I?ve been able to sharpen fine with the grind stone but when it comes to polishing out the fine grind marks with the leather wheel, I can?t seem to get that mirror finish. I?m hoping by conditioning the leather and using more of the compound that will help me?
??
I guess I have another question about the bur. How pronounced is the bur supposed to be on carving gouges?
