Thanks Ken, very helpfull and informative. I started of with a cheap Tormek copy from Sheppach but I have over the last year or so acquired Tormek jigs, anglemaster and trueing tool. I am delighted to at long last have made the giant leap to a Tormek Machine. And yes I will register my machine

General Tormek Questions / Supergrind 2000
December 30, 2020, 10:27:52 AM
I'm looking for some guidance. I've just bought a Supergrind 2000 On eBay for 130 Euros. I was extremely surprised by the pristine condition the machine was in. No visible sign of usage - ever!
Water bath and universal support were not with it but grinding and honing wheel were. 70 euros later I have her up and running. While I was waiting on the bits to arrive I did some spindle inspection and a bit of lubrication maintenance.
Now to the nub of the matter. The honing wheel appears to be made out of some form of polymer and is light grey in color. No sign that a leather strip has been bonded on at some point. Can any one shed some light on whether this sort of honing wheel was used by Tormek at some point and if so how it should've used?
