The Tormek T-8 sharpening system is the perfect answer to your sharpening requirements.

For any professional or amateur needing a versatile, reliable and repeatable sharpening system, the T-8 should be on the top of your list.

The T-8 has a 250mm x 50mm water-cooled grindstone and a 220mm x 31mm leather tyred honing wheel.

Powered by a quiet 200W motor, Tormek’s unique and efficient drive system maintains constant speed, even under load.

Tools can be sharpened with the Supergrind wheel cutting towards or away from the edge.

The T-8 features a strong, cast-alloy casing.

The mounting sleeves for the universal support are an integral part of the casting.

The design eliminates the possibility of any misalignment between the universal support and the grinding wheel.

The universal support bar has a micro-adjuster, which makes setting up or replicating a sharpening angle easy and highly accurate.

 The Advanced Water Trough features a screw lift mechanism.

You can fit it, fill it and then by simply turning the knob, raise the trough to bring the water into contact with the stone.

It makes removing the trough for emptying just as simple.

The T-8 includes a magnetic scraper for efficient cleaning.

The unit has an NVR safety switch with a strong waterproof cover.

The T-8 is suitable for use in education and other areas where an NVR switch is a necessity.

The T-8 includes TT-50 Truing and Dressing Tool, SP-650 Stone Grader, WM-200 Angle Setting Guide, PA-70 Honing Paste and Dressing Oil for the honing wheel.

In addition, there is a comprehensive handbook and Tormek DVD all packed in a strong storage tray.

The T-8 also includes the SE-77 upgraded jig for square edge tools.

Its design has a movable side and fine adjustment.

This ensures a precise 90° angle between your blade’s edge and side.

It also offers the possibility to create a slightly cambered edge.

The Tormek wet-grinding method leaves a polished, burr-free edge without overheating the tool.

Wet grinding significantly extends the life of your tools; it removes less material without affecting the temper of the steel.

The Tormek T-4 incorporates new, innovative, patent pending features. Firstly, the zinc cast top incorporates the key components of the main shaft, Universal Support and motor assembly resulting in superb accuracy as standard. Secondly, the Universal Support is held in two sleeves in the zinc cast top, meaning that the improved locking design and tighter tolerances will give even better results. Both designs give improved accuracy and precision for easy sharpening on the new Tormek T-4.

The T-4 model is the latest incarnation in a long line of Tormek water-cooled grinding systems. In common with its larger sibling, the T-7, it is ideal for sharpening cabinetmaking hand tools, knives, scissors and woodcarving and turning tools. It comes supplied with two useful accessories, the first of which is the SP-650 Stone Grader that can be used to keep the stone cutting efficiently as well as changing the surface from a (220g) coarse cut to (1,000g) fine. The equivalent of 6,000g can be achieved on the leather wheel. The second is the AngleMaster, an adjustable device used to set the correct angle for grinding plane and chisel blades. Magnets on the reverse side of the AngleMaster mean that it is easy to store it conveniently on the steel machine plate.

This is the first machine for some time to be supplied without a jig, so for instant sharpening, a jig of choice needs to be purchased from the many available, all of which will fit the Tormek T-4.

Also supplied is the unique Tormek Handbook, where all the information that is required to shape, sharpen and hone your tools to perfection can be found. The T-4 uses a powerful, industrial AC motor and the shaft supporting the wheels is made from corrosion resistant stainless steel. The 200mm(8") diameter stone has the Tormek EzyLock mounting system for fast stone changes without a spanner. Supplied with the SP-650 Stone Grader, unique Tormek Handbook and DVD together with Tormek’s 7 year warranty
