Swedish-made of the highest quality
Tormek T-8 Original is equipped with the SG-250 original grinding stone, which has adjustable grinding properties equivalent to 220 and 1,000 grit and sharpens all types of steel quality, including HSS. Tormek's characteristic drive system guarantees you many years of quiet and reliable use. The system is efficient and maintains an optimal speed for wet sharpening even under full load, thanks to its unique drive wheel. The industrial motor (AC) is maintenance-free and designed to drive the full-sized grinding wheel under continuous use. The motor has a service life of 25,000 hours.
Water tray with screw lift and magnetic scraper
Tormek T-8 Original is equipped with a variety of smart features that facilitate sharpening. The water tray has a convenient screw lift that makes it easy to raise and lower. It also features a magnetic scraper with a dual function: during sharpening, the magnet collects steel particles, and after sharpening, the scraper makes it easy to clean the water tray. For long tools where water may drip outside the water tray (for example, chef's knives and machine planing blades), you can easily attach the included drip guard to the edge of the water tray.
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 secures and releases the grinding wheel without tools. EzyLock also makes it easy to change grinding wheels 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.
