Hi all
I have used a tormek water cooled grinder to sharpen my tools for many years, and it has been great. However it is now on its last legs and I am thinking about replacing it with a T8 or T4. Any thoughts on whether it is worth getting the more expensive T8? I am not a professional turner...
Thanks for all the tips.
I didn't make myself very clear about the wooden chucks.....pics show the idea.
these are chunky boys...they can be turned much smaller depending on the job. I use odd bits hardwood laminated together, so the thread is tapped across the grain. I have a few so I have to...
Thanks all for advice.
I have a spindle tap...brilliant bit of kit that allows me to mount a block of timber on the lathe spindle and then turn jam chucks etc which sit directly on the spindle..this saves a lot of time changing jaws when I'm making salt and pepper grinders and other stuff that...
