General Tormek Questions / Longer shaft to accommodate a 5cm wide stone (at the bore) on a T8?
June 14, 2023, 08:03:25 PM
Hi,

Finally I managed to find a natural Gotland stone barely used, close to 250mm in diameter and 50mm wide all the way (without the recess of the "modern" Tormek stones at the bore).

I tried it on a T8 and it fits, however the shaft is now flush with the surface of the stone, and there is no thread left for the EzyLock.

Is there a way to find a longer shaft?

What other solution would you suggest?

General Tormek Questions / Repurposing a natural grinding stone to use on a Tormek?
April 20, 2023, 03:31:52 PM
Hi Guys,

I just joined this forum because I am about to get a second hand Tormek, I do not know which model yet, since I have not see them physically, but there are several for sale in my area at the moment: SuperGrind 2000, T3, T4 and T8.

When I was much younger I used to play with an old manual grindstone, and I would be happy to retrieve something similar now, taking advantage of what a modern Tormek can provide.

I would like to know if any of you have experience using natural stones with these things, and in particular re-shaping a larger stone make it 200 or 250mm in diameter (depending on the machine)?

Is that feasible at all? will the old stone simply crumble to pieces? how would you cut it?

Looking forward to getting feedback and advice,

LeU
