General Tormek Questions / Re: Motor wobble
September 07, 2018, 01:18:43 AM
Hi again
Thanks very much for the helpful advice
I have moved the stone position a few times and found a point where there is much less of a wobble or hump in the motion it is now connecting with the truing cutter all the way around it's turn much better
The wheel I have is the Blackstone 250 anyone out there reckon this is any good doesn't seem to grind  that fast but hey I'm still learning the machine now which jigs to buy next I can see this becoming a bit addictive !!! And thanks Ken I'm sure I'll be calling upon u our experience too very soon cheers guys !!

General Tormek Questions / Motor wobble
September 06, 2018, 09:37:41 AM
Hi guys I'm new as your about to be able to tell
I recently bought a 2nd hand supergrind 2000
Thought I had a great deal until I tried to sharpen and the chisel was bouncing on the stone instantly assumed it needed dressing so used the diamond tool no help it was just hitting and missing so then realized upon dismantle the drive wheel was cracked and broken where pin goes so replaced with new still same problem next assumption was bearing / bushes so replaced same problem last stop was new shaft same problem I have now noticed the motor bounces  slight where it connects with the drive wheel I believe this rocking motion is pushing  the wheel up and down slightly as there is just a small amount of play in the spindle through the bushes its better but not great
Also can anyone tell me why the ez lock shaft is slightly less in diameter where it bushes on the stone end seems like it's just asking for play at that end I can try to upload a video but was gonna see if anyone else had this problem
Thanks James
