Regarding the magnet for a T-4, I 3Dprinted a tab that hangs on the end of the water trough and used super glue to fasten a rare earth magnet in a recess. Quick and dirty way to solve the issue.

General Tormek Questions / Re: I wish I had pulled the trigger earlier

Dave,
That is an M6-1.0, 15mm long, flat-head screw. You can get one similar to that from McMaster-Carr as p/n 92125A111, though that one has a hex drive.
McMaster-Carr has other options for screws like that one. At 16 mm long, the options really open up, and there are options for using a flat-head or Phillips screw driver. Also, consider looking at screws with an "oval" head vs. flat heads. May be more appropriate for this use.
Rich
Thanks

General Tormek Questions / I wish I had pulled the trigger earlier
January 10, 2022, 05:41:22 PM
Many years ago I became aware of the Tormek system of sharpening. Since that time I have spent many $$$$ on different methods and tools. The results were okay but I knew that improvement was needed. I received a T4 unit 2 days ago and spent some time getting used to it. I then made an assault on my kitchen knives and was very please with the results. For what $$$ I spent in the past I could have easily saved a bunch by purchasing the unit years ago.
After some use, it became apparent a small modification would be in order. The screw needs to have a screwdriver slot to assist in snugging it during setup. My reason for the request is fat leathery fingers have a difficult time grasping it. I am considering adding one using a Dremel tool.
The only real complaint I have is the nameplate on the front of the machine was pulled off when removing the Angle Master. I can remedy the situation with some glue.
