Benefits of the MB-102 Multi Base:
- Enables sharpening on the flat side of diamond grinding wheels for a flawless flat bevel.
- Ideal for tools requiring flat bevels, such as luthier knives, Kiridashi knives, V-gouges, and more.
- Converts horizontal mounts to vertical for improved knife sharpening and guided honing.
- Compatible with the Tormek T-8, T-4, and various older models.
Achieving a Perfectly Flat Bevel
While typical grinding on the wheel’s curved part often results in a concave bevel, the MB-102 allows for sharpening against the flat side of diamond wheels, creating a perfectly flat bevel. This method is specifically recommended for diamond wheels, as standard grindstones wear differently and aren’t suitable for side sharpening.
Adjustable for Every Tool and Jig
The MB-102 Multi Base features an adjustable joint, enabling you to find the perfect sharpening position for each tool and jig. It’s designed to mount either vertically or horizontally on your Tormek machine, providing versatility for various tools, jigs, and personal preferences.
Adaptable Surface Texture
The speed at which you move the diamond tip across the stone can be adjusted to achieve the desired surface roughness. A faster feed rate results in a coarser surface, beneficial for sharpening hard steel tools with large surfaces.
Conversely, a slower feed rate yields a finer surface, though it will always be more textured than the surface created by the coarse side of the SP-650 Stone Grader.
Compatibility with Earlier Tormek Models
Owners of older Tormek models without Micro Adjust can upgrade their machines with the US-105 Universal Support for larger models or the US-103 Universal Support for smaller models, enabling the use of the TT-50 Truing Tool.
Optimized for Knife Sharpening and Honing
By attaching the MB-102 Multi Base horizontally, you can vertically mount the universal support, transforming the machine’s horizontal mounts into vertical ones. This alteration improves access for sharpening knives with an edge trailing technique and for precise honing using knife jigs, especially beneficial when using softer sharpening stones.
Broad Compatibility with Tormek Jigs
Designed to be compatible with a multitude of Tormek jigs, the MB-102 Multi Base works exceptionally well with jigs such as
- KJ-45
- KJ-140
- SVM-00
- SE-77
- SVS-38
- SVD-186 R
- SVS-50
- VD-110
Its versatile nature encourages innovative sharpening techniques, allowing you to explore new ways to utilize it for optimal tool sharpening.
