Great engineering

This tool is just as advertised. My Tormek wheel came out without a crown and perfectly round after I worked slowly.

The media could not be loaded. Gold standard of truing tools. Ibought this for a Bucktools wet sharpener but it didn't fit. I had to made a bracket and it fit fine. See picture and video.

I have a wen sharpening system and needed a way to true up the stone. I figured getting a tormek product would be the best solution. But once cry once sort of thing, since I'm on a budget. The alignment slot that goes on the tool rest post couldn't reach fully. When I had it aligned on the post, it wouldn't reach the other side of the stone fully so I had to just crank it down a little more and move it off of the vertical post. It also jumps around like crazy when going over the stone. I don't know if that's because I can't have it secured on the vertical post or not. I saw some videos of people using it on an actual tormek and they were having the same issue. Some people said to hold pressure on the part that goes across the stone to keep it from jumping around. But I feel like even though it's not vertically aligned like intended, it shouldn't jump around like that. I don't know. I'm new to all this stuff so maybe it's user error. But I'm sure with a little ingenuity I can find a way to make it work. I just wish that, for the money I paid, I would be good to go

Nice upgrade over the ADV50D that came with my Tormek. The old version always felt a bit squirrelly when trying to true the stone because the amount of stone removed was partially dependent on how much pressure you applied (by hand). This upgraded version locks into place and gives confidence that the face of the stone is truly parallel with the universal support while minimizing the number of passes. The design of this version is definitely an improvement.

I couldn’t afford the Tormek system so after reading many reviews and watching many YouTube’s I decided to try the comparable Jet model at about 1/4 the price. I like the Jet sharpener a lot and have experienced great results with it on all of my bench chisels, mortise chisels, lathe chisels, carving chisels, and plane blades. But I quickly wore a groove down the center of my grinding wheel and realized I needed to resurface and true it up. I then read the reviews for the more expensive Jet truing tool and saw most of those reviews were one star and reported the diamond coating on the unit wore off after about five minutes. One of the reviewers suggested getting the less expensive Tormek truing tool instead, so I did. I used it today and was astonished that in about one minute worth of work, my grinding wheel was perfectly trued and smooth the groove gone. I’ll be looking at other Tormek jigs now. Thank you for a great product, I wish your grinders were more price friendly.

works good
