White Fluffy Mold On SG-250

[Thy Will Be Done]

Hi,

I seem to have some mold growing in and on the wheel, thinking I need to run a solution of hydrogen peroxide through the wheel to kill all of it.  Any idea whether this will harm the wheel?  Seems like a vitrified bond abrasive which should be chemically invincible I'd imagine.

Hmmm, not sure that it is vitrified but I cannot see that it would damage the bond in any case.

Still, a quick double check with Tormek support (support@tormek.se) cannot hurt, right ?

They've probably run into this problem already so...

I agree with checking with support.

The other thought I have is to check your water. I would pick up a gallon or two of distilled water from your grocery store. I would start with scrubbing your wheel with a scrubbing brush. When you are through sharpening, store your wheel dry.

Please keep us posted.
