Features & benefits

  • The water-cooled grinding system prevents the steel from overheating.
  • The Tormek T-8 grinding machine is particularly user-friendly and makes perfect sharpening results child's play.
  • The SG-250 grinding stone from Tormek can be easily adjusted in grain size from 220 to 1000 using the SP-650 stone preparer.
  • Efficient steel removal, razor-sharp blades, and a long service life for both the tool and the machine.
  • The universal support allows for precisely reproducible grinding results, while the leather honing wheel ensures perfect sharpness.
  • The motor and main shaft are housed in a die-cast zinc casing, which also contains the patented sleeves for the universal support – for unbeatable precision.
  • The powerful industrial motor is maintenance-free, suitable for continuous use of the large grinding wheel, and always maintains the optimum speed even under full load.
  • 8-year warranty with online registration for private and professional use.
  • The magnetic scraper included in the scope of delivery attracts steel particles during sharpening and facilitates cleaning of the water tank after grinding.
  • The water tank can be raised and lowered using a rotary knob, and a water channel is attached to catch drips from long tools.
  • Tool-free changing of grinding wheels thanks to the stainless steel shaft with Tormek EzyLock nut.
  • The fine adjustment with trapezoidal thread allows the desired angles to be set precisely.
  • Due to its low thickness, the rotating disc hardly builds up, so that the sharpening position does not change.
  • Some tools are better sharpened when the stone rotates away from the cutting edge, others when the stone rotates towards the tool.
  • When honing, the disc should always rotate away from the cutting edge, otherwise there is a risk that the tool will cut into the honing disc.
