[pianotech] Of Chisels

Re the Tormek machine.  Has anyone looked into what the functional
difference is between the T7 and T3 (besides $250).

The flat sides of the stone wheel. One side is a coarse grit and the other
is a fine grit. After that the leather lap. Does a real good job.

 

I fully realize there are less expensive ways to sharpen a chisel or
whatever. But for those of us who for whatever reason do not have the
natural skills to sharpen by hand, the Tormek unit really does provide a
great avenue for keeping cutting tools very sharp.

I'm curious about those who use the Tormek system, how do you go about
flattening the back of the chisel?

The question was whether the Tormek system had a procedure for flattening
the back of the chisel since after the Tormek investment it would make sense
to try and avoid having to invest in quality stones as well.
