General Tormek Questions / Re: Rubber Drive Wheel
February 08, 2023, 07:07:33 PM
It is brand new, purchased from Amazon through a 3rd party seller which honors the prime membership. It was unused when I received it though there was a little chip in the wet stone wheel and they refunded me $90 which I was ok with as the chip wasn't deep. Otherwise it's fine other than the rubber wheel issue. I haven't yet registered it, though I have sent a message to Tormek support and am waiting for a response. Is there a direct number for support in the US or would I have to call Europe? When I get home I will look at the rubber wheel more carefully and see if there is any signs of burning or damage to the drive shaft.

General Tormek Questions / Rubber Drive Wheel
February 08, 2023, 02:56:44 PM
Hello, new to the forum and new owner of a T8, I have used a T8 in the past at a former place of employment. I don't remember the drive wheel from the T8 I used at my work heating up so much and smelling like burned rubber. It is very nauseating while standing over the machine sharpening and no mention of it in the owners manual. I did lightly rough up the surface of the wheel with coarse sand paper as instructed in the start up manual. Is this common for a new machine during break in? Or is there something faulty?
