Wobble in the leather honing wheel

I just got a new t4, and I noticed the leather honing wheel wobbles up and down a non trivial amount. Maybe 1/8-1/4”. Is there a way I can fix that?

  • Hi Bob.

    Have you put oil and honing compound on the honing wheel before you look at it?
    Leather is a natural material that is not homogenous. Sometimes one section can be a bit softer. Softer material tends to be a bit fluffy and therefore can make the honing wheel move up and down.
    When you put oil and honing compound on the leather it will flatten and be more homogenous.
    If you still think it is too much movement, please send me a video to support@tormek.se and we will help you there.
