Question oin hone wheel prep.  There were no instruction that I remember, but I noted in the maintenance tool kit for sale there is some miner oil for the hone.  Can I hear some amplification on this before I make a mistake and soak my hone in mineral oil.

Planer Blade Sharpening / Re:Sharpening Planer Blades with your TORMEK

« on: January 10, 2004, 08:28:10 pm »

I've sharpened the two blades from my Dewalt 12"  machine once.  I think I did good.  The other set is in the machine now (Pre Tormek - need two - one in use one to be sharpen - or sharp on stand-by).  I Believe I was being a little heavy handed (I'm 6'2" at over 260# - lots of beef).  As I leaned on the blade it caught the wheel and the whole thing recoiled and put a fair slice in two fingers (healed ok).  So one piece of advice - go easy.  I've only had my machine for a littel while and with the holiday rush I have done little shop upkeep.  but one of these days I will do more.   LOVE it thus far.
