Good whatever time of day it is when you read this!
New to the forum, and relatively new to the Tormek, have used it a tiny bit, but was gifted my FILs old SA250 due to the inlaws moving from house to appartement. He has used it to sharpen his woodworking tools with and I got a flat holder with the machine. I have bought two of the knife holders, the axe holder and found a holder for some sort of chisel/sculpting tool, most likely from when I lent my late fathers much later Tormek for a while. (My brother has that machine).
Looking at the machine, it is a classic SA250, unmarked stone of 250mm diameter most likely the natural stone, rubber polishing wheel, bolted axle. What I am looking for is advice on one specifically upgrade, I have found that I can get the leather wheel, the micro adjusted tool holder and that the regular 250mm wheels as they are just a matter of switching around.
What I am curious about is if it is possible to mount the XB-100 horisontal mount on the SA250?
I havent found anything about that, nor does the mounting instructions mention it.
I am also interested in information about the stone I have, contra the other options available now (but I have not done my homework on that topic), I gather as much that it is a mooth point of investing in the SP-650 and running that over it.
That about it for now.
Thanks for having me, glad I found the forum and decided to join!
