I'm looking for the stickers that Tormek use to sell that are used to recall the grind used for each tool.
I can't find them on the tormek website and don't know if they are still available.
Does anyone know?
Thanks for the help.

The latest on the broken drive wheel. I posted on the tormek page that the wheel had broken and got a reply from Mats Wuolo, he is going to send me a new one. I'm with everyone else on the part of hoping that it is a one time fluke. I love my tormek! I tend to have a heavy hand when sharpening on a dry grinder, and the tormek has saved a LOT of steel. One of the bowl gouges I still have, only has an inch of flute left on it. I liked that gouge too.
The part that tipped me off to something being wrong was the thump, thump. As the break would come around to the drive spur on the motor, the two pieces would seperate and cause the motor to jump. When that would happen the grindstone would stop for that second. Being frugal(read that cheap ) I still have a nut on the end of the shaft instead of buying the quick connect shaft. I checked the nut to be sure it was tight, have never known it to loosen over time, it was and then I noticed the drive wheel being broke. I can still use the machine, just have to be very light on the stone. Heck I might even learn something like this.

Thanks Rob

Have the 2000 model, drive wheel has broke in half. This machine set on the same shelf 24/7, does not get moved ever. Use it for woodturning tools. Go out to sharpen up a gouge and there is a thump, thump going on. I don't find it until I take the wheel off and look at it closely. Without removing the rubber I've tried to glue the plastic together, not working so good. Any ideas?
