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.
