Hey - Just to close out my post, new stone and shaft arrived over the weekend and I am back up and running! I now store the stone off the machine when not in use. Thanks everyone for the help!

Hi - I did some more investigating of the issue: I was able to remove the shaft by removing the buffing wheel and hardware and tapping it out lightly with a hammer. The nut is really frozen to the shaft! The nearest bushing looks pretty involved with the corrosion. I suspect this is the root cause of the stalling, but i will inspect the drive side.

Based on all this and the feedback, i've ordered a replacement wheel and EZYLock shaft/bushings. I am confident that this will fix everything.

I've managed my sharpening needs with out the micro adjuster so far, but i will look into it!

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I do have the TT-50 accessory. Does the version i have not fit on the T4?

Hi all - I have an old supergrind 2000 with some issues and i wondering if i should fix or just purchase new:

1.  The stone has cracked into 5 pieces (an initial crack and rough handling destroyed it!)

2.  The nut holding the stone is "rusted" on and prior to destruction of the stone, the machine would run for a bit and then "stall". I suspect the corrosion has gotten into the shaft and bearing areas.

I gather that the new parts will fit on this machine, but i am not a heavy user and wonder if purchasing a new T4 is a smarter move.

Thanks in advance
