With the RB-180, you can easily rotate your machine 180° and then lock it securely. You can alternate between grinding/honing or with-grinding/against-grinding in just a few seconds.
Some tools are best sharpened when the stone rotates against the edge, while others should have the stone rotating away from the edge. With Tormek's turning plate, you can easily rotate your machine 180° and adjust the rotation direction according to your needs.
The turning plate also makes it easy to switch between grinding and honing. Always hone with the leather honing wheel rotating away from the edge, otherwise there is a risk that the tool will cut into the leather.
Great emphasis has been placed on making the RB-180 as thin as possible in order not to raise the machine and alter the sharpening position. You can rotate easily without heavy lifting or water spillage. The turning plate rests on rubber feet that absorb any vibrations and ensure it stands securely on the table during grinding.
RB-180 is compatible with

Tormek T-4, T-3, models 2000 and 1200, plus SA-250 and N-1500.
