If you have a knife mounted in a fixture and have set
the proper angle for grinding using the guide bar, can
one make the assumation that moving the guide bar
to the "honing "position (with no changes on either the
guide bar or fixture seetings) one will obtain a good
hone on the blade when making contact with the honing wheel? Or does it need to be re-adjusted each time?

Byron:

I did the same thing on my Tormek. Installed a wooden
peg that I use to hold the turntable when it reaches the
desired location. Found it saves a lot of liftiing and
spilling of water.

Found the turntable at Home Dept and it has been
working great for over a year. I made certain to get the
largest they had. Not for weight but more for stability.
I mounted it to a sheet of heavy plastic (no rusting or
water damage) and then set the Tormek on top.

This makes it easy to move, and easy to store the two
parts seperately if I want.

Best regards,

Rick
