I know this has been raised before. I'm a Tormek newbie.
I purchased a Supergrind 2000 from Ebay that produces a superb edge on my chisels. The stone is quite worn (180 mm diameter) but otherwise looks OK. But the ground edge is not square to the side of the chisel - despite the fact that I have used the truing tool to dress the stone. It almost seems like the tool rest is not square to the stone. (I have seen discussions elsewhere on this topic on this site). The degree of skew is quite pronounced - to the extent that I have reverted to manual sharpening.
What am I doing wrong ? Or could there be something amiss with the machine I have bought ?
Many thanks for all suggestions.
