General Tormek Questions / Re: BGM-100
December 12, 2019, 09:21:39 PM
Jan,
It appears to be that your belt grinder is an inverted 3 (76mm) or 4 (101mm) inch hand held belt sander. Is this correct? If so, would you post pictures showing how you secure it please? My method has been to clamp it in a bench vise. It has only been used for non-precision wood working. Since the sander has a plastic housing, one has to be careful with the clamping pressure of the vise.

Adding a link to truing procedures for the TT-50 contained in an excellent thread.

Consider reading or reading this thread again. It contains excellent material.
Rick Krung,
Do you use your motorized truing attachment every time you true a wheel with the TT-50?

Neat idea. Do you have any slippage occur between the tube and the shaft?

Rick B,
I definitely would try out the TT-50 you have.
If you have not read the following thread, I think you will find it interesting.
https://forum.tormek.com/index.php?topic=3647.0
I am nowhere close to being an an expert on the subject, but I think as long as the diamond cluster cutter protrudes beyond it's holder a little, it should work. That excludes substantial damage to the TT-50 unit that might happen if you drive a Mack truck over it.

From my perspective, I do not see the need of purchasing a new TT-50 unless it is functionally destroyed. I rather doubt that the diamond cutter would be shot. Judging from your pictures, it appears that you already have a second cutter? While I assume (I do not have one) the up to date new TT-50 is indeed an improvement, have you previously experienced or currently are having difficulties with the TT-50 you have?

RobinW,
Are you sharpening your plane blades? Just think of all the exercise your muscles are missing because of a sharp blade. Then also think of the lost revenue of the sandpaper manufacturers!?
