Triple_Height_Tormek_Riser_foot

This is a double height and triple height riser foot for the Tormek Supergrind 2000 and T-7, which might fit other Tormek models. You need two of these. I discovered that raising the left side of the Supergrind 2000 about half an inch to three-quarters of an inch high makes the water that runs off the top of the grinding stone all run to the right into the trough better. I made this discovery while sharpening some hand planer blades. The standard Tormek riser foot is six and a half millimeters high. This double height riser is thirteen millimeters, and the triple riser is eighteen point five millimeters high. I included a recess for a five millimeter diameter by three millimeter magnet just like in the original Tormek riser foot. However, you can print this and use it without the magnet, as the machine's weight will hold it in place. Note that the magnet hole is five millimeters in diameter by three point one millimeters deep. I have put parts in a cup of boiling water to soften them enough to push the magnet into place. I am not sure if the magnet will be strong enough to hold the foot in place with this double or triple thickness. The upper section and recess are tapered two degrees inward to help mate the parts with a friction fit as well. I recommend printing the inverted version with external support. You can then easily sand off the external support with some sandpaper, and the internal recess will print better. Both inverted and non-inverted versions are included, with the same parts just flipped over one eighty degrees. This thing was made with Tinkercad.
