Thanks!  Agreed.  We have the belt sander w/ 60 ready to move metal.  Just was not sure of the ability's here.   I also wondered if it is possible to put on other wheels (a very corse 10" junk wheel) if you do need to shape.    PS-  Perfect term!  Thanks. 
I am gathering up all my parts to sharpen !  REady to go to it.    Tx  CG

I purchased a Tormek for my 17yr old Son doing custom CNC work.  He is making tacktical axes and knives.   I'm having fun too.. For sharpening & edge setups we quickly found out about wet stones and Tormek! Primo stuff.   

That said:   Here is our Q.    Can he use the Tormek T-7 to make light bevel cheeks on the axe face? 

Givens:  1/4 plate.   1045 to 1095 stuff.   Axe sharp edge of say 3"-5" in length w/ a taper starting 2"-3" back and down to the edge.    In essense,  can he use this to make a 1/8" reduction down each side ?  Or is that just too much metal?  We have other alternatives, but simply wondered if this could work? 
thanks all,
CG
