I posted my impression of this new jig for Tormek in a different thread. Seems there are others who share the same opinion as mine (thankfully!). I thought I'd put this review in it's proper catagory...

Here's something one doesn't hear eveyday. I was just notified I was in their giveaway drawing. Strange thing is I bought the tool before the thing started. Gawd knows I could use a new grinding...

Actually I have noticed the term "truing" used in more than 1 way in many forums. There is a difference between wheel "truing" and wheel "dressing". Wheel true in its purist definition is the amount...

Thanks, Malcolm. I wasn't aware of that group. I'll have to check that one out.

I had to read and re-read that before it jumped out and slapped me.

I got it from www.tallowtree.com. I also saw they had them on eBay for the same price as their website.

I just received my new Truing tool advancer today. I only have this to say...I LOVE THIS THING! For anyone thinking about buying this, buy it. You won't be sorry.
That's my review..hope everyone...

Hi Mick,

I am retired and I do mainly some knife sharpening as kind of a sideline just to keep me out of wife's hair. I live just outside of Chicago, IL. I had my Tormek for about 2 years now and...

Sorry, Mick. Didn't mean to come off as a salesman. I was looking at all the different forums online to see if anyone had purchased one of these things. I knew they were new but had not really heard...

has anyone tried that new Truing Tool Advancer sold by TallowTree Mfg. in USA? According to a few posts I've read they are really good. I'm thinking about buying one because I hate pushing that...
