Thank you all for the replies. I've sent an email to Tormek support regarding this issue and am currently waiting for their response. I'm glad to hear it might still work for sharpening even though it's wobbling. I might give it a shot if I can't get it sorted out in the end.

It's equipped with some kind of truing tool, probably an older version of the TT-50—so truing might also be needed. I just checked whether the honing wheel synchronized the wobble with the grinding stone, and it did. Most likely a bent main shaft just as Herman suggested.

Hi,

I recently bought an old Tormek SAB-250 that does not seem to be in great shape. The grinding stone has a noticeable wobble, which I have  tried to show in the attached YouTube video. My guess is that the nylon bushings are worn out or that the axle itself.

Has anyone experienced the same issue and managed to fix it by replacing the bushings and axle?
