Fully cast housing
On the new T8 model Tormek has integrated the previous mounted sleeves for the Universal Support into the fully cast housing.
Integrated sleeves for minimal play
The integrated sleeves guarantee minimal play for the Universal Support; an innovation which improves the control of the sharpening and increases the accuracy of the final results.
Magnetic scraper for efficient cleaning
Efficiently collects steel particles and makes it easy to clean the water trough.
New screw lift for easier fitting of the Advanced Water Trough
Easily raises and lowers the water trough.
Stainless steel hardware
Prevents rust and wear on bearings.
With Tormek EzyLock, you need no tools for mounting and dismounting the stone.
Just like Tormek's T7 model, the T8 improves the accuracy and safety in edge tool sharpening.
Conventional jigs on the market require that you align the tool in the jig with two mounting screws, which is time consuming, and you lose the exact repeatability at each sharpening. TheTormek Square Edge jig solves this problem and the chisel will be lined up squarely (i.e. at 90 degrees) each time, without any adjustments. This is achieved because the jig automatically aligns the chisel to its flat, machined face.
Another benefit is that the SE77 can also clamp short and tapered tools firmly, e.g. Japanese chisels. The jig copes with blades up to 76mm or 3" width.
The new Square Edge Jig SE77 has safety stops, which prevent the tool from slipping off the stone, which can hurt your fingers.
A further development is the Truing and Dressing Tool TT-50 with screw feed. This enables the user to keep the stone in perfect condition, which is essential for a perfectly sharpened edge.

Why Tormek?
Sharpen all your edge tools
With the wide range of Tormek patented jigs, you can sharpen practically all types of edge tools. Tormek is dedicated to developing water cooled sharpening through innovative solutions.
Exact replication
The key word when sharpening the Tormek way is repeatability. You can shape the tool exactly to your needs. Even complicated shapes such as fingernail turning gouges, spoon carving gouges and oval skew chisels with a radiused edge are easily sharpened.
Cleanest edges
You finish the sharpening process by honing and polishing the edge on the leather honing wheel. You get a razor sharp edge.
Fast sharpening
Once the shape is created, you remove only a fraction of the steel when re-sharpening, which makes it a quick job.
Full control
At the low speed, you have full control of the sharpening and remove no more steel than necessary. An extra benefit is that your tools last longer.
No risk of overheating
There is no risk that the edge becomes overheated and loses its hardness.
Safe and quiet
Worn steel particles are deposited into the water trough, keeping the air clear of grinding dust. No sparks are produced, avoiding a potential fire hazard in workshops with a lot of wood dust. You will also find that the Tormek runs surprisingly quietly.
Quality and performance
Buying a Tormek is a safe investment in quality and performance with a 7 year warranty. You are assured that all future developments will fit your machine.
