Key Benefits of the LA-120 Profiled Leather Honing Wheel:
- Enables precise honing and polishing of the inner surfaces of arched-edge tools.
- Essential for maintaining tool sharpness and condition between full sharpenings.
- Made from durable, high-quality cowhide for longevity.
- Compatible with Tormek T-8, T-4, and previous models.
Effortless Honing for Arched Edges
By mounting the LA-120 Profiled Leather Honing Wheel alongside your standard honing wheel, you gain the ability to hone both the outside and inside of arched-edge tools with ease. The wheel comes equipped with two standard leather discs: one with a 3 mm (1/8″) radius for gouges and another with a 60° tip for V-gouges, catering to a wide range of tool shapes.
Expandable Options for Precision Honing
The leather discs on the LA-120 are interchangeable, allowing for easy replacement with the LA-122 Set of Standard Exchange Discs or the LA-124 Set of Narrow Exchange Discs for honing even the most intricately curved edges. For added versatility, you can install double LA-120 discs, combining standard and narrow profiles to access four distinct profiles simultaneously. Each disc should be used with PA-70 Honing Compound and initially treated with light machine oil for optimal performance.
Sustainably Sourced, Premium Leather Quality
The leather used in the LA-120 Profiled Leather Honing Wheel is sourced from Tärnsjö Garveri in Sweden, a tannery renowned for its commitment to traditional and environmentally friendly vegetable tanning processes. This ensures that the leather on Tormek’s honing wheels is not only eco-conscious but also of the highest quality, contributing to the tool’s effectiveness and durability.
