Using the side of the Tormek SG wheel

**Dengue** · 7th May 2021, 01:16 PM

Hello, had anyone had any success using the outer side of the 250mm diameter Tormek SG wheel for flattening plane blades and chisels? ( Not the $500+ diamond wheel)
If so, can you please share some of the techniques you used , like the positioning and holding the blades on the wheel, and how you initially place the blade on a running wheel without damage?
Are you able to flatten the side of the wheel with the grading stone or similar?

I believe that Tormek sell a guide/blade holder for this purpose. I do not know much about it.

Hi Dengy, unless you have ninja like hand skills i recommend against it, I am still removing grinding marks from some chisels and plane blades years later after trying this technique,also the risk of changing the balance of the wheel although this may be slight , Ross
