Properties & Advantages
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.
