    Default Grind wheel truing with a Tormek BGM

    Clearly it's important to have the wheel face parallel to the jig mounting bar.

    Having fitted a new wide pink wheel I mounted a diamond point truing tool in the straight edge jig, set it to point downwards (trailing) for both safety and because it's said to be less likely to fracture the diamond, and had at it.

    Worked fine.

    Does raise the question of how well the jig bushes will stand up to flying grit.
    Cheers, Ern
