FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the Tormek ACC-150 Anti-Corrosion Concentrate?
Its primary purpose is to prevent rust and corrosion on both the tools being sharpened and the water-cooled sharpening system itself, particularly when using diamond grinding wheels.
How much Tormek ACC-150 concentrate should I use?
The recommended dilution is 4%, which means using 10 ml of concentrate per 250 ml of water.
Can I use the ACC-150 with regular stone wheels?
Yes, it can also be used with standard grindstones to reduce waste and protect your tools from corrosion.
How long does a bottle of concentrate last?
Each 150 ml bottle can make up to approximately 3.75 liters of sharpening water, as two bottles are included in the pack for a total of approximately 7.5 liters.
Does this concentrate affect the sharpening process?
No, when mixed at the correct dilution, it is designed to inhibit corrosion without negatively impacting the cooling or lubricating properties of the water during sharpening.
Where should I store the concentrate?
Store the concentrate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, and keep the bottles tightly sealed.
What is the shelf life of the concentrate?
The concentrate itself has a long shelf life when stored properly. Once mixed with water, it should be used within a reasonable timeframe and disposed of responsibly.
Troubleshooting
Visible rust appearing on tools or machine
Ensure the concentrate was mixed at the correct 4% dilution (10 ml per 250 ml water). Recheck measurements and mix a fresh batch if necessary. Verify that the tool and machine are fully immersed or regularly splashed with the treated water.
Grinding wheel appears to be degrading faster than expected
While the ACC-150 primarily prevents rust, ensure the wheel is clean and free from debris. Check if the water flow is adequate and consistent. The concentrate protects against corrosion, but abrasive wear is a separate factor.
Difficulty in measuring the concentrate
Use the integrated measuring scale on the Tormek ACC-150 bottles. For precise measurements, especially for smaller batches, consider using a small laboratory syringe if the bottle scale proves challenging.
