I have successfully used D-Way (steel, with steel reducing bushings) successfully wet and dry with my Tormek. I use Honerite Gold at the recommended 1:25 dilution and have not had a rust problem. I...

Edwin,

I agree. I have long felt the Tormek is capable of doing a lot more than is efficiently done by the available manufactured jigs. On the Tormek forum (www.tormek.com/forum) several members...

I get tired of all of the chatter about Tormeks being so expensive. Compared with what? The Tormek is the premier wet grinder and system. It is the Baldor of wet grinders. Compared with a Baldor...

I would like to submit another opinion about the Tormek T4. I would especially like to bring this to the attention of any members using wheelchairs.

I have used a T4 since soon after it was...

John,

That's exciting. Mike sent me an email this morning with a photo of the new one use media holder. (It reminds me of the one use dental floss tools.) Ironically, Just last evening I was using...

John,

I think the 186 is a worthwhile upgrade for many users. In your case, I think you have made the logical decision.

The dealer you mention is Steve Bottorff. Steve and I are friends; most...

John,

I actually have used three models of the edgeonup testers. My favorite is the PT-50. It is simpler to use than the KN-100. It is a newer design, and does not require extra weights (BBs) to...

The edge tester is from edgeonup.com. It is designed for knives. It uses a scale of 0 to 2000. The number refers to the number of grams needed to cut through the standardized test media, which...

John,


I reran my metal lathe tool bit test with my now almost new CBN wheel. Its youthful "irrational exuberance" grinding has mellowed into what I would expect from a 180 grit wheel. The moral...

John,
Thank you for your reply. As I stated, the CBN wheel is a new purchase (and a new technology) for me. Although I have owned a dry grinder since 1972, my grinding has been essentially Tormek...

I recently purchased a 180 grit D-Way CBN wheel for my Tormek. I happen to have both a T7 and a T4 Tormek. I chose to start with a CBN wheel for the 8" diameter T4. (In considering which Tormek to...

Check into Pat Warner's offset base for the 7518. The 7518 can be a solid fixed base router in addition to a table router.

Mike,
When you get your CBN wheel, if you also order a 12mm reducing bushing, you can use the CBN wheel on both your dry grinder or the Tormek. The eight inch CBN wheel will work like a ten inch...

Based on the information in your latest posts, I agree. It is wise to anticipate growth. The largest motor in my small home shop is 1/2 horse. I am pleased to learn that you have consulted the code....

Tom,
One problem which is more common than realized is a grinding wheel which needs to be trued. Many Tormek users are reluctant to true their wheels. This is an essential part of grinding, wet or...

Brian,
i think you would be well advised to hire a licensed electrician for this. (sorry). If you are having difficulty pulling the wires thorough the conduit, you have probably exceeded the code...

Tony,
Good point about the rusted shaft. Tormek corrected that problem in 2006 with the introduction of the stainless steel shaft, and improved it in 2010 with the introduction of the stainless...

I am a new member with this forum, although I have been reading the Tormek threads for quite a while. I have been a Tormek user since 2009.


I have read numerous comments that the Tormek is...
