My new water stone 200mm was not round (2mm off!) and I used the tT-50 to flatten it.
How can I now get a moth surface again?
I used the fine side of the stone with a rough and a fine side but it still is rougher than the initial stone

Thank you Smurfs,
the quality seems really poor.
I returned it for a refund and ordered the Goniometer Master already.

Ernst

Thank you!

I received my t4 and started to sharpen (still fighting with the knife tips). Sparpness of simple kitchen knifes is amazing 
There is a DVD in the package, but I do not have a DVD player any more on my MacBook Pro.
Is there a way to download the video?

Hello,
I got my Carta Hobby delivered today and found that inside the ring there is a kind of white coat, which I can not remove.
Is this normal or affecting the performance?

Thank you in advance
Ernst

Thank you guys, I will start to learn free honing first.

Ernst

For me as a pre-beginner (get my T4 hopefully this weekend) this was a lot of useful information e.g. about rounding the corner of the stones, how to adjust the jigs etc.
The sharping technique however differs from the technique Wazz is teaching, but maybe I should get started step by step.

Guys,
I am waiting for my t-4 to be delivered hopefully by end of this week.
In the meantime I am looking at all kinds of materials here and have a question:

Is it required for honing on the leather wheel to keep the angle right or is free honing sufficient??

If so, where can I buy it (I am based in Germany)

Best Regards

looked at it again and indeed you guys are 100% right.
My mistake!
I thought the grinding wheel diameter is related to the Torweg-8 only

Ernst

I bought the Grinding Angle Settings SW on the App Store for IOS.
Cant find the setting for the grinding wheel diameter and the blade thickness.
Is this correct?

Ernst

Hello,
I am new here and just ordered a t-4. I tried to purchase the Mac version on the App Store but it is not available in the German App Store.
Is there any other way to get the SW?

Thank you
Ernst
