    Default Tormek Diamond/Scheppach Wheel Dressing Tool

    Have a Scheppach tiger 2000 and was wondering ????????????
    1.Does the Tormek diamond truing tool work on the scheppach system ?
    2. Which is the better and more durable truing tool the Tomek or Scheppach ?

    Have looked at both www sites which don't offer up a lot of information. The systems appear to be similar and from what I can see, look like they could be interchanged with one another. At $20.00 less and with possibly a better reputation I was leaning towards the Tormek.
    Any one had any dealing with the two that maybe able to steer me in the right direction.

    I must admit to not seeing the Scheppach truing tool but if it is like this one then that is the old style that tormek used to use Scheppach

    The new tormek one is a lot more user freindly and easier to control Tormek

    As for durability I know the Tormek lasts a long time. All depens on how often you are sharpening gouges as to how often you need to redress for flat tools.

    I have been using one of these on my Triton wet grinder, I just put it in the tool holder.

    Maybe not as fancy, but it seems to work for me.

    Have 2 of these, one for my spark grinder, one for the wet grinder.

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Wow!! what a difference a fresh working face on the stone makes. It must have been so clogged up that it just didn't want to cut.
