I recently purchased a Tormek T7. To the owners out there, I have a few questions.
1. It seems to me that the stone is glazing pretty quickly and needs to be flattened and glazing removed with the diamond truing assembly. Is this normal? I am putting new bevels on a fair number of tools, but it seems I am having to do this every 2nd or third item I work on.
2. The grading stone seems to not do much to remove the glazing, is that normal? The manual implies it should, but it only seems to help restore the cutting action to a limited degree.
Aside from that I am getting pretty good and quick results, which makes sharpening less of a pain then others methods I have used over the years. Also, I can now sharpen carving tools which I never could before freehand, which almost makes the system worthwhile for that reason alone.
Feedback appreciated.
