Members richco Posted January 24 Members Report Posted January 24 Hello All, I am restoring this Fortuna model10A leather skiver,I am having trouble with understanding how the bell knife sharpener stone is held on the shaft it looks to me it was glued on when I tried to remove it from the shaft it broke in half stone measures 70x7x17.5 could anyone please confirm me if it glued on or there's any other part to keep it there.Thanks Quote
Members Beehive Posted January 24 Members Report Posted January 24 I'd back track operation instructions on replacing the grinding wheel. There has to be some kind of mechanical attachment to keep the wheel on the shaft. Shaft nut of some kind. Otherwise, you'd be reading about, "grinding wheel glue". Maybe the top of the Arbor shown in the picture expands out. Gripping the wheel by the arbor hole. I can't see if the middle of the arbor is threaded or if it's just a hole. Quote

Thanks for reply,the top part is solid and don't get expend while tight. Quote
Members Tigweldor Posted April 4 Members Report Posted April 4 Ask the manufacturer for a repair manual - they are still in business and they did make a repair manual for the 10A. https://www.fortuna-gmbh.de/EN/CONTACT/content.php Quote
Members Tigweldor Posted April 7 Members Report Posted April 7 Here a vid - watch from about 17:30 on --- looks like your stone is just stuck on the shaft - just pry it off. Ask uploader where he got his replacement from. Greetings Hans Quote
Members Tigweldor Posted April 8 Members Report Posted April 8 (edited) Here is a vid of the shaft assembly and of the different hardness stones that are available (read first comment) : If you click on the uploaders name - he has other videos as well on skiver maintenance and adjusting Edited April 8 by Northmount Removed redundant link Quote
