Product Description
Tormek T-8 Original Sharpening System. Tormek has taken their legendary Sharpening System and upped their game with the release of the T-8 Sharpening System. The T-8's updated design, and other upgraded details, gives you the best conditions possible for a successful sharpening experience, with top results. For starters, the T-8 has integrated the previous mounted sleeves for the Universal Support (the heart of the Tormek system) into a fully cast zinc top housing and frame. This guarantees minimal play for the Universal Support, an innovation which improves the control of the sharpening, and increases accuracy. Next, Tormek has upgraded the SE-77 Jig for square edge tools with a movable side that allows for a fine adjustment to the setting. This feature ensures a 90 degree corner, and also provides the ability to create a cambered shape, if desired. The Advanced Water Trough has been further improved with a screw lift to raise and lower it, making it easier to exchange stones and replace water, along with the added convenience of a magnetic scraper for even more efficient cleaning. For long tools that drip water over the edge of the lip, like chef's knives and planer blades, you can attach the Water Chute. Set the widest edge of the chute onto the tab in the middle of the lip of the trough, and the Water Chute will direct the water back into the trough from even the longest tools. As always, the Tormek Original Grindstone is made to sharpen all qualities of steel, including High Speed Steel (HSS), plus the stainless steel, no-tools needed EzyLock grinding stone arbor makes stone changes and adjustments fast and easy. Finally, and certainly not least of all, Tormek's unique and efficient drive system manages to hold a constant speed, even under full load. SwedenThe T-8 System Includes : The T-8 Sharpening Machine with SG-250 Supergrind Wheel; SE-77 Square Edge Jig; TT-50 Truing and Dressing Tool; SP-650 Stone Grader; WM-200 AngleMaster; PA-70 Honing Compound; HB-10 Handbook; Tormek DVD; and an 8 year manufacturer's warranty (5+3 after online registration).
