New Tormek Wheel? I Do This First.

I do this every time I buy a new Tormek SG-250.

    I ordered my first SG250 wheel. Looking forward to getting started with my knife sharpening. This video was so helpful. Keep it up please. Really enjoy learning from a craftsman

    The SG-250 is a very under rated wheel. It's all I need. Flexible and very capable of handling all tasks, especially if you pair them with diamond grading plates. They cost me $420 each but only take 25 or so knives to pay off. I can do that in one day.

    @@buckw65 what wheel have you been using until now? If you search for Tormek anglemaster there are some excellent videos already up by others. But sure I could make my own. I like to cover aspects of Tormek use not covered by others and how my methods are “wrong” and different.

    @iSharpen I've just been playing with the out of true wheel the machine came with. It's basically a WEN grinder wheel. Really course wheel.

    Well done, informative video. The worn pointer on the Anglemaster is available as a replacement part for $4.75 US (see link) Shipping costs can be high for small parts.I would ordertwo or three, as well as sny future needed parts in one shipping chsrge.

    Really?! No way! That's the best news. I've wasted $120 buying new units when I only had to buy a $5 piece?. No link came through. I'll search for it on eBay.

    Not finding it anywhere. Can you post a link and I'll include it in the description and yes I'll buy a dozen to future proof my operations.

    Further... I just found a local 3D printer who makes instant quotes from a stl (3D printer) file. I just uploaded one I found here www.printables.com/model/70568-tormek-wm200-spare-part and with the highest quality setting it's just $20 which is still a hell of a lot cheaper than $60 for a whole Anglemaster but not as cheap as your $5 part which I'm still hoping to get a link to.
