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
