The TTS-100 Setter works irrespectively of the stone diameter. You always get exactly the same edge angle – even as the stone de­creases in diameter. It also works equally well when setting the edge angle on the leather honing wheel.

Select your shape

On the Tormek Selection Chart you can choose from common profiles what best fits you and your turning, see below or in this PDF. Of course, you can also create your own recipe if you like. The most common shapes are numbered and printed on to the setter.

Since a tool can have an unlimited number of combinations of shapes and edge angles, a new tool has a more or less different shape compared to any of the shapes on the chart. Therefore, you first need to shape your tool to a set geometry, then the following sharpenings will be an easy task and done in less than a minute.

Stick to the shape you have selected and do not switch from one shape to another. Then you will get the full benefit of the Tormek TTS-100 Setter, since you can instantly replicate exactly the same shape every time. It will make your sharpening more efficient, which means more time for turning.
