Tormek Universal Support Riser + Offset

----V5 Update: Changed the size of the M12 nut to fit better, previous hole too small


I designed this riser and offset accessory for the Tormek T4 wetstone sharpener to sharpen thicker knives or cleavers when mounting the universal up the top.

This works well and eliminates the need to purchase the Tormek Extended Universal Support US-430

You will need:
-2x M6 thumb screws for the Universal support (you can reuse your Tormek ones)
-2x M12 bolts
-M12 nuts (optional)

I used a long M12 x 150 partially threaded bolt with the head cut off, this gives a nice and solid 12mm rod with the nuts to lock the rod.

But I believe a short M12 bolt can be press fit into the base to achieve the same result, but the thread for the M12 is smaller than 12mm.

INSTRUCTIONS
====================

1. After printing the file out, you will need a M6 tap to thread the two holes for the thumb screws

2. IF using a M12 hex bolt, press fit it directly to the bottom 2 hole
