As you can tell from the name, the MSK-200 Stainless Steel Shaft with EzyLock is made of stainless steel for maximum service life. You can easily mount the grinding wheel with your bare hands with the composite Tormek EzyLock, which works as both a nut and a washer. The large pitch of the left-hand nut in the composite knob causes the rotational force of the grinding wheel to tighten the nut.
If you need to replace your grinding wheel, turn it clockwise while holding the honing wheel with your other hand. The EzyLock nut will then automatically release. This design makes it easy to work with different grinding wheels. When mounting the grinding wheel, turn the EzyLock nut counterclockwise by hand. When you start sharpening, the nut will automatically be tightened to the correct torque.
Fits the Tormek T-4, Tormek T-3 and older models with a 200 mm (7 7/8") grinding wheel.
