General Tormek Questions / Re:Stone grader

Jeff, I am a pretty strong fellow so the pressure is not an issue I pressed down so hard that the stone loosened the shaft nut. I have graded the stone for 20 sec, 30 sec ,45 sec, one min and still the stone never felt smooth. Also when cleaning the water bath there is a large amount of the stone particulate in the trough. So I know that the grading stone is working. Is there a possibility that I have a defective stone that is unable to be graded?

I just received my 2006 yesterday. 
I have sharpened 6 chisels and 3 irons. All with similar results - a highly polished and sharp edge, but with slight scratches still on the bevel intersecting the edge. The scratches are creating a slightly jagged edge that catches when testing the edge on paper. I followed the instructions on grading the stone between grits and have read all the posts. What could I possibly be doing wrong?
