Sharpening with unbeatable precision

Swedish-made of the highest quality
Tormek T-8 Original is equipped with SG-250 original grinding stone, which has adjustable grinding properties equivalent to 220 and 1,000 grit and sharpens all types of steel qualities, including HSS. Tormek's characteristic drive system guarantees you many years of quiet and reliable use. The system is efficient and can maintain an optimal rotation speed for wet grinding even under full load, thanks to its unique drive wheel. The industrial motor (AC) is maintenance-free and designed to drive the full-size grinding wheel during continuous use. The motor has a runtime of 25,000 hours.
Water basin with screw lift and magnetic scraper
Tormek T-8 Original is equipped with a range of smart features that facilitate sharpening. The water basin has a convenient screw lift that makes it easy to raise and lower. It also features a magnetic scraper with dual function: during sharpening, the magnet collects steel particles, and after sharpening, the scraper makes it easy to clean the water basin. For long tools where water may drip outside the water basin (e.g., chef's knives and machine planing irons), you can easily attach the included drip guard to the edge of the water basin.
EzyLock for quick and easy grinding wheel changes
Another well-thought-out detail is the stainless steel main shaft with Tormek's unique EzyLock nut, which quickly locks and releases the grinding wheel without tools. EzyLock also makes it easy to change the grinding wheel if you are working with any of Tormek's specialty stones SB-250 Blackstone Silicon, SJ-250 Japanese Waterstone, or any of our three Diamond Wheels, DC-250, DF-250, or DE-250.
