Product Description
Tormek T-8 Original Sharpening System
Unbeatable precision in your sharpening
The advanced design ensures unbeatable precision for the Universal Support, which is the foundation of the Tormek sharpening system, since it controls all grinding jigs and accessories. The patented precision mounts for the Universal Support are integrated in this model's fully cast machine housing. This allows you to have full control and maximum accuracy in your sharpening.
The highest quality made in Sweden
The Tormek T-8 Original is equipped with the SG-250 Original Grindstone that has adjustable characteristics equivalent to 220 to 1000 grit and can sharpen all qualities of steel, including HSS steel. The characteristic Tormek drive system ensures years of silent and reliable operation. The efficient system manages to maintain the optimal speed for water cooled sharpening, even under full load, thanks to its unique driving wheel. The industrial AC motor is maintenance-free and designed to drive the full-size grinding wheel during continuous use. The motor is tested for a 25,000 hour service life.

Micro AdjustMicro Adjust with acme thread and a scale for precise setting of the edge angle and cutting depth. |
Magnetic ScraperDouble function magnetic scraper; during sharpening the magnet collects steel particles and after sharpening the scraper will make it easy to clean the water trough. This keeps your stone clean and cutting more freely. |

Get your tools sharp
With the wide range of unique and patented Tormek jigs and machines, you can sharpen practically any type of edge tool.
Exact replication
The key word when sharpening with Tormek is repeatability. You can shape the tool exactly to your needs. Even complicated shapes such as fingernail turning gouges, spoon carving gouges and oval skew chisels with a radiused edge are easily sharpened. This means that when it’s time to sharpen your tool next time you can easily repeat the previous shape.
Two cutting actions in the same stone, from 220-1000 grit
The unique composition of this stone, together with the Stone Grader SP-650 gives you two different cutting actions in one grindstone. The Stone grader polishes the surface of the grindstone from its normal 220 grit to a finish that works like a 1000 grit grindstone.
Fast sharpening yet no risk of overheating the steel
Thanks to the low speed on all our machines, there is no risk that the edge becomes overheated and loses its hardness. On the Tormek T-8, the edge is continuously cooled with water during the sharpening. Once the shape is created, you only remove a fraction of the steel when re-sharpening, which makes it a quick job.

Water leakage fix
I will add a photo in a bit. First of all water wheels are messy, but first I bought cookie sheets and bolted the unit so the working end was 1 inch higher than the base with a hole seal around a filter and small recirculating pump. The mounting bolts stainless. Then around the edge of the I put round rubber corner guard. The unit is mounted in series water wheel, Buck Knives blade grinder, water wheel. One wheel is 1,000 grit, the Buck 2,500, and the other wheel 4,000. I found the best solution is not to complain, but design and take advantage.Because they recirculate I seldom have to add water. My engineering bench has these a platform sander for handle making, an Arbor press, large drill press, a Worx table saw so I can shape or cut. Because I have had issues with a large enough press I welded corner bar to have two feet of brackets each 1 inch apart so I can put a plat in with the right size holes and clamp. Equally the drill press large but some handles larger it has a hole through the engineering bench with a mounted laxer angle and two mounted wood clamps going 180 degrees from each other so I can make a 4 inch handle normally or simply turn the top to do handles and the longest hole I have had to drill was 10 inches deep for an extremely large deep sea fishing knife. I did have to make the bench but it saves my 10 foot work bench made of bamboo from holes, and with 4 locking wheels the bench simply rolls out of way when done. Another cooling pan 2 inches deep has a cedar block and rubber pad glued on top I can take any whet stone up 15,000 grit and set it and it won’t budge. Another section took an 8 inch slow speed 2 HP grinder on one side a polisher. the other an exact angle stropper. Because polishers through a lot of resin it is surrounded by a 2 foot wall of sheet metal with the edges covered with the same round corner protector that comes with self adhesive. The total cost about 120.00 but I can sharpen over 200 knives in a couple of hours. From experience just plan around the tools. I have placed small stainless drain spouts in each of the areas prone to sawdust or resin and other junk, a shop vacuum fits right on the spouts with no adapter.
