Well done! Two very minor points: the new drive wheel, a major upgrade, is actually made of zinc. Also, when hanging or cleaning the shaft, don't forget to put a little white lithium grease on the two bushings. I look forward to your future ideos
Very good information there. Thanks for sharing. It’s nice knowing that T-2000 will continue to keep sharpening tools with another owner. Tormeks have been know to be handed down to another generation especially in Sweden… Just Subscribed. Ron
I am refurbishing my old T2000, so here I am. Wow, the metal drive wheel is a must have over the substandard injection molded thing that came with my machine. Thanks for the video.
I lucked into purchasing a late production 2000 and also found the stainless shaft on a closeout at Craft Supplies. I'll examine the plastic drive wheel and upgrade to the aluminum replacement if when it cracks or breaks. Good video. Thank you.
Thanks for your video. I have T2000 and while changing shop I noticed the bottom of the Machine was starting to rust sitting in the turn table I purchased years ago. I drill small drain holes and touch up the paint after removing the rust. Be careful with turn table holding water and Good luck with your Tormek..
I picked up a T2000 with the magnum accessory kit for $500 Canadian pesos last week. The previous owner just used the knife jigs and the rest were still new in boxes. Truing up the wheel reduced the size to 245 mm. I think I got a great deal on it. Can't wait to get the planer and jointer blades sharp.
I'd be interested in knowing the cost of the Machine and upgrades and how that compares with the new machine. My complete system, with clamps, jigs and stone cost less than just the Tormek whetstone wheel and a replacement wheel for mine is £23 for an 8-inch wheel that does the same job as the Tormek wheel.
On the older shafts the wheels are usually stuck and unable to remove. So I bought a new wheel and shaft however I was able to remove the old shaft from the original wheel. I have them in my cabinet and can reuse them if needed. Thanks for asking!
I have a T8 but have considered getting an older model with a different wheel installed. What was your final cost in your upgrade (including the T2000 unit) compared to a new T8?
Has anyone ever upgraded the universal support by dying the vertical bar to add a micro adjust screw and taping the end of the horizontal bar to add a blocking nut?
The non threaded Universal support on the T2000 has the legs a tad tighter together, it sits so tight in the tabs on the T2000 main body you can't just slide it up and down.

Great info for us T-2000 owners. A parts list with links would be super helpful.
Your wooden replacement knob is fantastic. Lots of useful info in this video, great work!
Thanks! It was a quick easy fix

Sounds like you are going to have a great machine at a good price. Great!

Very helpfull video, thank you for taking time to make it.
Thanks!
Excellent content, very well done!
Thanks, Hank!
That was fantastic… Do you have a cut list on the cost for each upgrade?
Thanks! I bought all the items from Sharpening Supplies.
but you installed a new stone on a new shaft, was the original shaft actually bent? You didn't show installing old stone on new shaft.
