Tite-Mark cutting wheel...

[Scott]

I haven't had my Tite-Mark for too long and it hasn't really been used on hardwoods in anger (just some pine for making a wardrobe). Anyway, I was marking out some iroko this morning and when I looked at the cutting wheel the whole edge had disintegrated :shock:

What used to be a smooth, round, sharp cutting disc has turned into something with an edge that resembles a stripped gear wheel! :evil:

Surely this can't be normal????

Anyone else experienced this? :?

Hi Scott,

I've had mine for a few years without problem. In fact, I've only honed them once that I can remember.

I would either contact them directly (http://www.glen-drake.com/) or wherever you purchased from.

Scott,
No problem with mine. It sounds as if your wheel may have been over-hardened. I am sure that you would get a new one if you sent it back to LN or Glen Drake.

Thanks guys. Thought there was something not right.

I'll get on to Axminster on Monday.
