General Tormek Questions / please help me flatten the side of my grinding wheel!!!

« on: May 31, 2012, 12:59:02 am »

i have posted a couple of times on this topic and have tried to email tormek directly. can anyone help? i have a job coming up that would really benefit from sharp, square tools. 

i have a tormek T7 and i want to know:

is there a proper method that i have not been following that would avoid dishing the side of my wheel? (the wear increases toward the center.)
is there a jig or a way to modify my TT-50 truing tool to flatten the side of my wheel?

help! please!

i am surprised how quickly the side of the grinding wheel of my t7 dished from flattening the back of tools.

now i wonder:

have i been doing something wrong in my back flattening technique?
is there a tool and or method to get the wheel flat again?

please help!!

General Tormek Questions / flattening side of wheel

« on: May 26, 2012, 02:24:13 am »

the only other thread on this topic refers to drilling out a truing tool that i do not have. i have a tt-50 truing jig. can i modify my truing jig to flatten the side of my wheel, or is there another method to get this done?

thanks,

james
