General Tormek Questions / many questions (problems)
January 29, 2014, 12:46:14 AM
I am using the Tormek T-3 along with the LV MKII and waterstones.  One problem I am having is that when I go from using the Tormek to grind a bevel of 25 degrees it seems that when I set the MKII to 25 degrees I seem to be regrinding a new bevel.  I seem to be making contact at just the "heel" of the bevel and not at the tip of the edge.  I have ensured that my stones are absolutely flat.  My suspicion is that 25 degrees on the Tormek is not the same as 25 degrees with the MKII honing jig.  So I assume I may have to adjust one or the other.  Has anyone encountered this situation and if so what are your recommendations.

One other quirk is that when I use the stone grader the scratch patterns becomes inconsistant.  I do notice that my stone grader is glazed in certain areas so that may be the cause.  If I use the "truing" tool then I get a consistant scratch pattern.  Is there a way to clean the stone grader or should I just purchase a new one?

Thanks in advance
