I got a Tormek from Rockler late last week and just got around to mounting the wheel and turning it on today (waiting for my jigs to show up.) I fired it up and there appears to be a steady rock or wobble of the entire motor in the unit as the wheel turns. Its rhythmic and consistant and I can see the unit assembly moving when I look at it under the honing wheel. My workbench is stable and flat near as I can tell it I'm sure it isn't the whole unit moving...just the assembly. All 4 feet are touching the workbench and I confirmed the wheel is securely fastened. I called Rockler 5 minutes after their tech department closed (unlucky day) so I have to wait for tomorrow before I can get an official analysis. Anybdoy ever heard of this on a Tormek? Am I going to have to send it back?
