Personalize Your Tormek T-8 Sharpening System
The Tormek T-8 Custom package includes the core Tormek T-8 machine without a grinding or honing wheel. Included essentials are the HB-10 Tormek Sharpening Handbook, WM-200 AngleMaster for setting bevel angles, and US-105 Universal Support for jigs, allowing you to start building your system right away.
Selecting Your Grinding Wheel
Every tool has unique sharpening requirements. Choose from a variety of grinding wheels such as the SG-250 Original Grindstone for a versatile range of sharpening properties, diamond grinding wheels for exceptional durability, the SB-250 Blackstone Silicon for rapid HSS steel shaping, or the ultra-fine SJ-250 Japanese Waterstone for a polished finish. Tailor your system to match your specific sharpening tasks.
Choosing Your Honing Wheel
Finalizing the sharpening process involves selecting the right honing wheel to remove burrs and polish your tools to perfection. Whether you prefer the traditional LA-220 Leather Honing Wheel with honing compound or the CW-220 Composite Honing Wheel with integrated polish for a mess-free experience, the choice is yours.
The Power and Versatility of the Tormek T-8
At its core, the Tormek T-8 is a robust and adaptable water-cooled sharpening system, featuring a maintenance-free industrial AC motor with a 25,000-hour service life.
