Was talking to a dealer today and he tells me the Sheppach have a floating axle unsupported by bearings, hence the wooble in the wheel.

That is a fairly wide ranging statement Arthur, "the Scheppach"?Quote:

Tormek recommend lubing the shaft bushes annually so presumably they're not nylon.
Fred, from memory you got a 2500. How are you finding it?
He was referring to the Wetstone grindres, Fred.
Arthur, I dressed the wheel on mine and don't have wobble or run-out. Have the leather wheel on the other side and that has never had any wobble.Quote:

Nothing much wrong with the Scheppach wet grinders, especially the 2500. Tormek is somewhat better, but it ought to at the price!
Having said that I use Tormek jigs for it, they are superb.
Ern, quite happy with it, use it all the time and I get very repeatable results. I see you sold your Tormek, not happy with it?Quote:

Not a Tormek Dealer Fred. From what you and Ern have said I'm concluding that he really didn't know much about either product!:oo:
