Colour the bevel with a marker. Turn the grinding wheel by hand and check where the grinding
will take place. Adjust with the Micro Adjust until the wheel touches the entire bevel from the tip
to the heel.
Sharpening an existing edge angle
Setting the edge angle
The height of the Universal Support determines the edge angle. This can be set in two ways.
Either you can exactly replicate the existing angle using the Marker Method or you set to a
new angle according to your choice using the Tormek AngleMaster WM‑200.
Set the AngleMaster WM-200
to the diameter of your wheel.
Set the height of the Universal
Support with the Micro Adjust.
Note! The entire base should
rest on the tool with the corner
(a) on the wheel.
Sharpening a new edge angle
First mount the inner, movable stop (A) so the tool rests with
approx. 6 mm or ¼" on the wheel. Then mount the outer stop (B),
which is fixed and independent of the tool width.
Move the tool continuously
between the two stops.
Spend more time sharpen-
ing the sides.
Setting the safety stops
The safety stops ensure security when using the wheel’s full width and should be used when
sharpening plane irons, since these are partly moved outside the wheel. The inner stop (A)
is removed when sharpening blades wider than 60 mm or 2
