    Key features

    Longer tool life

    The Tormek wet-grinding method leaves a polished, burr-free edge without overheating the tool. The water acts as a coolant, meaning the temper of the steel is not affected whilst you sharpen, which significantly extends the life of your tools.

    Fast and safe

    Worn steel particles, produced when shaping, are washed into the water trough. This means only a fraction of steel is removed, which makes it a quick job. It also means the air is kept clear of grinding dust and no potentially hazardous sparks are produced.

    Smart features

    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. Includes a magnetic scraper for efficient cleaning. For long tools, like chef's knives and planer blades, the enclosed water chute can be fitted to the trough.

    Quality and performance

    The strong, cast-alloy casing houses vital functions like the motor, main shaft and sleeves for the universal support mounts. This advanced design forms a strong foundation which guarantees minimal play and, therefore, provides the stability needed for precise shaping, sharpening and honing.

    Exact replication

    Patented universal support mounts (bars), which guide all jigs and accessories, can be mounted either horizontally or vertically providing the ideal set up for any tool or user. The mounts are integrated in this model's fully cast machine housing. Providing even a beginner the full control and maximum accuracy needed for repeatable results.

    Full control

    Powerful, maintenance-free, industrial motor (AC) and unique drive wheel ensures years of silent reliable operation. The motor is tested for a 25,000 hour service life. The motor is designed to run the full-size grinding wheel for continuous use - even under heavy load minimal rpm is lost.

    Easy to set

    The micro-adjust feature, with acme thread and scale, together with the AngleMaster means it’s easy to precisely set your edge angles for repeatedly consistent results.

    Efficient and versatile

    SG-250 Original Grindstone has been developed to combine efficient steel removal, smooth surface finish and have a longer life. By using the SP-650 Stone Grader you can alternate the surface of the grinding wheel from a 220g coarse cut to a 1000g fine.

    Cleanest edges

    The sharpening process is finished by honing and polishing the edge on the leather wheel. The equivalent of 2,500-3,000g can be achieved. This leaves your tools with a razor-sharp edge so you're ready to produce your best work.

    Invest in quality and performance

    With a wide range of jigs and accessories available the Tormek T8 can be customised to suit your sharpening needs, making it the ultimate sharpening system. Investing in a Tormek machine means you’ll never have to put up with dull tools again.
