I assume you mean grind down the diameter?
It is a clone of a tormek and only 8 inches in diameter to start. It would be fairly small and to be honest, I have been too mad to see if the shaft is bent too.
At minimum I will hold on to it for the leather wheel.
Maybe I'll get a real tormek...I have an excuse. Lots of jigs to not use now.

While they seem much softer than the genuine Tormek stones, the ones that Grizzly sells for their 8" and 10" clones should fit and are relatively cheap.

Thanks Rob, looks like a whole new machine isn't that much more then a new wheel.

Scott I can sympathize with you. My hand grinder took a trip to the floor a while ago. While not the same economic loss, I know the feeling.

I've got plans to bolt down my Tormek, WS3000, a 6" grinder, and buffer to a roll around cabinet of some sort for a dedicated sharpening station. Now I am glad I'm planning on doing that.

It appears from looking at your picture, if you dressed it down about 1/4" you could gain back a lot of the working surface. You'd still have a chip out on the side, but not nearly as much.

I second this sentiment. It only affects a small percentage of the working portion of the stone. As long as it does not catch the tool on its way around, everything s fine.
