Well, I've bought it a week ago on Amazon (https://www.amazon.it/Tormek-TT-50-TT-50-abdrehv-intoppo/dp/B0013N6MFU/ref=sr_1_1?__mk_it_IT=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&dchild=1&keywords=tt-50&qid=1585765195&sr=8-1) and it looks like is the new model.
So I guess I've got to get in touch with support.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. My name is Cristian and I live in Italy. I'm a cook/gardener/woodworker.
I've bought the stone truing jig (tt-50) and carefully read all the instructions before using it.
The jig works quite badly though.
The head holding the diamond/copper point has quite a lot of play and I think this is the reason why it often vibrates so badly that I have to hold it down with my hands and take very light passages, less than 0.25mm. I've tried different feeding speeds and off course truing in both directions. My stone was not badly ovalized or unevenly consumed when i stater truing it. I eventually managed to true the stone but I had to old down the head often and I ended up consuming a lot of stone since it made bad marks every time it chattered. Is this normal or I got a faulty piece?
