General Tormek Questions / Re: Homemade pivot collar for knife jig
October 13, 2021, 10:38:50 PM
Just posted on another topic an alternative to this.
Wouldn't it be easier for those who haven't the financial condition just to turn 2 wood "knobs" and round their base so it can pivot.
I made (I tried at least) my own version of it. Made 2 wood "knobs". One flat and one rounded for the exact purpose of this topic
Although it does not worth the effort making the whole version of the SVM-45, it totally worths just turning the 2 knobs.

Knife Sharpening / Re: Another idea for pivoting the knife jigs

Actually, made my own version of the SVM-45 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHrh2nmpYKU
I turned 2 knobs, one pretty flat like in the original version and another one rounded.
It works quite nice. Hope this helps

General Tormek Questions / Re: Tormek SA 250 motor issue

Hi all,
Just giving a quick feedback on this matter!
The motor issue was the capacitor itself.
I received a new capacitor from Sweden and it works now like a new one.
I had very difficult times truing the stone (as it had a groove of about 6mm in the middle of the stone and I have no TT-50) but I eventually managed to get where I wanted!
It is so satisfying being able to use it now
Particular thanks to Stig & Mats! You clearly deserve the best customer service award!

General Tormek Questions / Tormek SA 250 motor issue
April 27, 2021, 01:50:41 PM
Hi everyone,
I recently inherited an old machine from my grand father, a Tormek SA 250.
After few tries, everything was looking fine. I decided then to give it a clean. However, impossibe to remove the bolt on the grinding stone side.
Anyway, the gringing stone had a wabble so I decide to rectify it. Started doing it and after 2 or 3 mins, the motor slowed down until the point it definitely stopped.
I switched off then switched on again -> it was so slow that I can stop the wheel with 1 finger and almost no pressure at all.
I made a video to show it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFnZ6ckzHPc
I tried again today. After 20 sec, the motor still doesn't work and becomes quite hot.
Is it what I think it is --> the end life for this motor? Are there replacement motors than can be found somewhere?
Is there anything i can try to do to save it?
Thank you for the help.
