I used the tormek for my first serious try at sharpening knife recently.

Do you normally have to take off the grinding wheel to use the leather wheel?

I used the guide rail on the front of the Tormek and I was just sharpening a normal size steak knife, and a handle hit the grinding wheel.

Maybe the setup was wrong?

Thank you!

Thank you for the responses!

Is this a front vertical base?  This is what I have, do the same principles apply?

Hi, I'm new to Tormek and have a Supergrind 2000 with a vertical front base.  I'm trying to learn how to use angle calculators to learn how to sharpen like I've seen on Knife Grinders Australia Youtube channel. 

I want to do the best I can with what I've got, just the Supergrind 2000 and the leather wheel (with green rouge).   

I think I can get the angle right for the wheel, based on one of the videos, but I don't know if there is a video that shows how to set the angle for the leather wheel with a caliper.

Do you know of any videos (or pictures) that show how to set the angle on the front vertical base (with a caliper?) for the leather wheel?

Thank you for your help!
