Record/Tormek compatibility?
« on: March 09, 2019, 03:43:25 PM »
Can anyone help with this one?  I have a Record wetstone sharpener with a variety of Record and Tormek jigs.  Great for sharpening up the edges but no good for changing a tool profile . I would like to use them all on my bench grinder, and notice that Tormek have a bench grinder mounting for their support bar for exactly this purpose.  My question is will I be able to use my existing record support bar on a Tormek mount.  The Record support bar arms are the same 12mm diameter and have 90mm spacing, but I cannot find if the Tormek uses the same spacing on theirs.  Can anyone advise before I purchase the mount?
