Thanks for that Ken, I'll source a suitably sized spacer and try reversing the stone. I have tried using the reverse side in standard rientation, but the wheel developed some strange, regular black marks on it, and I was worried that I'd upset something!

How about the grading stone question? Can you grade the sides of the stone, as well as the outside? I only ask because I ahve some old chisels I'm restoring, and flattening the backs takes ages! FYI, the reverse side seems a little coarser than the 'normal' flat face. I wonder if anyone from Tormek can confirm whether that is the case?

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before. I tried a search but couldn't find anything.

Is it acceptable to use the inside face of the stone for flattening the backs of chisels and plane blades? I have some long chisels, and the inside face has a larger face to flatten the backs on.

Secondly, is it ok to use the grading stone on the flat faces of the stone?

Many thanks!
Joe
