Wood Turning / Re: 1 day old Tormek, should I bin it?
September 15, 2012, 01:27:55 AM
I read this thread a couple of days ago. I had T-7 system on order and thought about canceling my order after reading this. I got my machine late yesterday, delivered by UPS.  I played with it last night. I had to reshape two bowl gouges and one spindle gouge. I found it very easy to do. I did not even regrade the wheel. It took only about 15 to 20 minutes to reshape. I found it easier than a slow speed bench grinder. With the wet wheel grinding it is much slower and easier to control. Only have the system less than 24 hours I am so far very pleased.

Wood Turning / Setting the SVD-185
September 11, 2012, 04:01:48 AM
Hello everyone, I'm new here. I have a Tormek system on order. I have the SVD-185 jig and the video on use of turning tools. My SVD-185 is marked 0,2,4, and 6. There are raised areas and notches. I don't know if the raised areas are to match the numbers or the notches are to match the numbers. Can someone clarify. Thanks in advance.
