Hi
   Well here is the story so far.
                                         I took the t7 out to clean the gringstone. I tried to clean it with the special stone for roughing up the grind stone and it was no good. So i dressed the grindstone with the diamond tipped tool and this worked just great. I did not do anything with the side of the main wheel as i felt that eventhough it is discouloured i would be taking away from the width of the grinding area. I have to say that i was wrong in saying there is rust on the guides. They went black in places and a quick rub of steel wool seemed to take the roughness off them although they remain black. The ma1n nut holding on the grindwheel has definatly got rust on it and i dont think this is supposed to happen but considering that this machine was lying in a carpenters workshop for 4 years.

Regards
Patrick.

Thanks ionut
                you were saying that i should use the grading stone as an option in the pool?
I would worry about taking the grading stone to the side of the wheel too as it can take a significant amount of the stone off leaving a smaller working space for the chisels to grind on. My guides got rusty as they lay up too and they work fine with just black marks where the rust was, but i might consider changing them for new ones.
Also the washer on the nut that holds the grinding wheel on is very rusty too so i will have to replace that too.
Thanks for our responce and sorry it took so long for me to answer you.

Hi all
      I have my t7 a few years now and the grinding wheel has discoloured like rust lines on the wheel. I have left water in the trough for weeks until it dried up due to carelessness. I now want to sell the machine and want to clean the wheel. Can anyone here help? The number on the wheel is SG 250.

Regards Patrick.
