Rather than reinventing the wheel, I'd like to get some input from the AAW hive minds. I use a Tormek w/ the DF-250 for sharpening, and it's great. I'm getting experienced enough that I would like to do some shaping on my tools. Rather than get another device, I'd like to use the Tormek. One thought, since I have the original dual grit wheel that came with my Tormek, is to use the truing jig to take it to it's coarsest grit, and using that. I'm not sure if that's a tested approach or if it would just be a waste of time. Thoughts? Anyone doing this with success?
I've also seen some 80-grit CBN wheels that work on the Tormek advertised. One was as low as $185, but the higher quality ones seem to go for $250. The price isn't a real concern. I'm more interested in getting a quality wheel. Anyone go this route?
I'd love to hear recommendations on the best approach to launching my shaping adventure on the Tormek. Thanks!
