Tormek T8 Original

The Tormek T-8 Original is a powerful and versatile water cooled sharpening system that includes everything you need to take your sharpening to the next level. The advanced design and its user-friendly operation give you the best possible conditions for successful sharpening with top results. The Tormek T-8 Original is ideal for quality-conscious do-it-yourselfers as well as professionals.

The Tormek T-8 Original is equipped with the SG-250 Original Grindstone that has adjustable characteristics equivalent to 220 to 1000 grit and can sharpen all qualities of steel, including HSS steel. The characteristic Tormek drive system ensures years of silent and reliable operation. The efficient system manages to maintain the optimal speed for water cooled sharpening, even under full load, thanks to its unique driving wheel. The industrial AC motor is maintenance-free and designed to drive the full-size grinding wheel during continuous use. The motor is tested for a 25,000 hour service life.

The Tormek T-8 Original is equipped with loads of smart details to make your sharpening easier. For example, the water trough has a convenient screw lift to easily raise and lower the water trough. It also has a double function magnetic scraper: during sharpening, the magnet collects steel particles, and after sharpening, the scraper will make it easy to clean the water trough. For long tools that may drip water outside the water trough (like chef's knives and planer blades), you can easily fit the enclosed water chute onto the edge of the water trough.

Another worked-through detail is the stainless-steel main shaft with Tormek's unique EzyLock nut, which enables tool-free locking and unlocking of the grinding wheel. EzyLock also makes it easy to change grinding wheel if you work with some of Tormek's additional grinding wheels (sold seperately) TOR-SB-250 Blackstone Silicon, TOR-SJ-250 Japanese Waterstone, or one of our three Diamond Wheels, TOR-DC-250, TOR-DF-250 or TOR-DE-250.

Includes:
The versatile TOR-SE-77 Square Edge Jig for sharpening chisels and plane irons.
The TOR-TT-50 Truing Tool to keep your stone round and flat.
The TOR-SP-650 Stone Grader to change the grit of your stone.
The TOR-WM-200 AngleMaster to measure the edge angle.
The TOR-PA-70 Honing Compound to use with the Leather Honing Wheel.
The TOR-EM-15 Edge Marker to color the bevel when setting the edge angle.
