Thanks for the tips and indepth answers!  the shaft is definatly worn where it passes trhough the nylon bushings, i dont think it has been maintained ever.... so i have ordered a new shaft and hope that that fixes the problem.

Thanks,

Hi everyone, im after some advice

I am having trouble with the tormek at work.
We have a 2000 model, the drive shaft is worn where it passes through the nylon bearing at the grindstone end, so its not a tight fit, and thus causing the grind stone to be able move up and down radially about 1 to 2 mm, which i wonder is why the stone edge (as in the radial side) is not at a right angle to the tool rest and results in my problem that i can never get the stone to be true with the tool rest when using the diamond truing jig.

Does this all make sense to you?

And I guess the logical thing to do would be to buy a new drive shaft?

Any thoughts greatly appriciated

Cheers,

Alice
