Wood Turning / Negative rake scrapper problem

Last post by Kim - Today at 03:28:41 AM

I have been using the SVD-110 platform to sharpen my negative rack scrapper made by D-Way Tools (see https://cdn10.bigcommerce.com/s-pa1dw/products/136/images/561/CurvedNRS.75_S__95OPT600__87496.1686765450.1280.1280.jpg?c=2)

Since the SVD-110 has no positive stops, I am finding it very difficult to have an exactly consistently angle every time I sharpen.  As a result, the bevel is slightly inconsistent. The D-Way Tools are extremely hard steel. Since I end up grinding a slightly different angle, the process is extremely slow. Does anyone have suggestion on using a different platform with positive stops with the Tormek. For example, Kodiak makes a platform with positive stops, but I don't know if it compatible with the Tormek machine.

Thanks all!

[MSK-250 Stainless Steel Shaft with EzyLock is a nice upgrade for that machine.]

The MSK-250 Stainless Steel Shaft with EzyLock is a nice upgrade for that machine.

Did that upgrade myself. Well worth the investment. Also put a dab if lithium grease on the bearings. Finally, always remove the wheel between sessions.

Thanks Rich

The nut was backed off and the wheel was spinning free with about 1/8" lateral play.  The nut was frozen and I couldn't determine where to lock the spindle to crank on the nut.  Standard nut about 3/4 or the mm equivalent. 

It's fixed now.  Spent the last couple of hours sharpening chisels and block planer blades.  Very nice machine.

You should be able to hold the honing wheel

General Tormek Questions / grinding wheel spindle

Last post by Steven Krouse - September 15, 2026, 11:09:23 PM

Hello, first timer here.
I inherited a model 2000 from my brothers estate.  I noticed the grinding wheel had some lateral movement on the spindle, nut was not tight against the wheel.  I shot The nut with some PB Blaster to free it up, but my problem is I don't see any way to hold the spindle from turning.  Advice greatly appreciated.

Hi all!

A while back we created a quite sharp Spotify playlist for fun, to have something to listen to during longer sharpening sessions.

Hope you like it, and feel free to comment your submission idea!

Stay sharp!
