The shaft, washer and EzyLock nut are all made of stainless steel to resist rust. The EzyLock system ensures that the grindstone is held securely with no danger of unwinding while also requiring no tools to mount or loosen the grindstone. A special pitch on the left hand thread causes the rotation of the wheel to tighten the nut to the correct torque.
This construction makes it easy to work quickly work with and swap different grindstones onto the machine, from the Tormek Original Grindstone to the specialty stones Blackstone Silicon for High Speed Steel and the 4000 Grit Japanese Waterstone.
When mounting the grindstone, turn the Ezylock nut anticlockwise into position by hand but do not overtighten. When turning the machine on it will automatically tighten to the right torque.
When changing stone, turn the grindstone clockwise while holding the leather honing wheel in position with the other hand and the EzyLock system will release allowing you to remove the nut and stone.
Fits Tormek T-8, Tormek T-7, Tormek 2000 and all older models with 250 mm stone diameter.
