John, MIke and Ken,
Thank you for your thoughts/insights/wisdom...really appreciated!   I really like the idea of "not pulling out my wallet" but first getting comfortable with the SG!   I really do love the convenience of the Tormek T-8 and I know that I need to learn more on the operation end.   I will look up those videos.   

I guess I was just a little frustrated on why I wasn't getting that grinding sound and feel each time!   I do use both a sharpie and the angle finder jig for my chisels.   It seems that when I have the truing tool I would get back to that grinding feel. But, I just wasn't sure how often I should use that tool.

Hi, I'm new to the T8.   I am looking for some insight on getting the most out of the stock sharpening wheel.   At times, when I'm sharpening a chisel (for example) with the SE-77 I can hear and feel when my chisel is being sharpened, but other times using the same setup I'm not able to sharpen.   I have used the TT-50 to true the wheel, which helps but only for a bit.   I'm wondering if the wheel is just dirty and needs cleaned.   I feel like I'm pressing the SE-77 with chisel attached too hard into wheel to get some sort of sharpening results.   I do use the stone that came with the T8 to change grits.   Just looking for some insights.   I'm wondering if a diamond wheel would be better for me?  Let me know, Thanks!!!
