In my opinion you should not have any wheel wobble.  I wonder if you've got a defective wheel or bent shaft.

:'(   Ya I do.    I'm dealing with customer service right now.    Just my luck

Just checked my universal support shaft. Its off square from my stone.   :-\
That explains My chisels.

I'm not sure I understand all of what you said (what is the washer you adjusted?) -frequently.

The inside washer that sit's off the stone & where the shaft enters inside the casing. 
Its a bit annoying. Sometimes it can take me some time to find the sweet spot as the wobble is close to 1mm at its worst.
At best, Its a 0.5mm wobble.   :(   So each time I take off my wheel  is it normal to have to do a hole new truing every time?
That wheel is up and down a lot and it shows when I'm truing it.


I'll have to get a smaller square. thx.  I guess all my 6 chisels are scrap.  :o
I also think the weird noise is coming from a small flat washer that looks bent out of shape on the honing side.

Hello everyone.   I'm new to the tormek family, I just started using my own T-7 & am having a blast.
After a few days of playing around with my  new machine, I've noticed my square edge jig
side wall set is not producing a square grind.   

At first I had a 0.7mm wobble, fixed that with a 1/4 turn of my washer.
My motor was making a Pulsing noise, it's going away with time as I'm
breaking in the motor. My stone was up and down , but since I've used my truing jig
the stone has been perfect.     

With the help of your forum and its member's I've fixed/solved most of the little bump and kinks.

But I was expecting to sit my tools snug on the side of the Square edge jig to produce a 90deg. grind.... :o
I'm finding I have to adjust and slightly offset by eye. Is this normal?

Thank you for any tips you can give.
