Sharpening Systems & Packages

To produce the sharpest cutting edge in the shortest possible time nothing rivals Tormek wetstone grinding. 

Why use wet grinding?  Because the process sharpens without heating the tool and the sharpened surface is ground more cleanly thanks to the irrigation.  And wet grinding produces no sparks - an important consideration in a workshop where shavings, wood dust and potentially explosive wood flour atmospheres are everyday facts of life.  The Tormek system combines this excellent grinding process with the essential finishing process of honing the tool.  An integral leather honing wheel is provided and this, in combination with a profiled wheel where required, provides the facility to render any tool razor sharp.

Above right:  The Tormek T7 water-cooled sharpening system with seven year warranty and new-generation straight edge jig.  Bottom, left: The Tormek T3 Sharpening System.

The use of jigs for controlling tool positioning ensures precise repeatability during sharpening, minimising the amount of material removed, saving sharpening time and extending tool life.  There is a Tormek jig for just about every eventuality whilst the standard Universal Support also permits freehand grinding when required.

The Tormek range now features two models: the new Tormek T7 and smaller cousin, the T3, the specifications of which are shown in the table, below. 

Tormek T3 Sharpening SystemThe Ultimate Sharpening Machine is the Tormek T-7, setting new standards in wetstone sharpening: the best just got even better.  With a stainless steel mainshaft and fittings plus a seven year warranty this is a machine to see you well into the future.  In summary, the T-7  is capable of any sharpening task, can be run on a continuous basis and is to be recommended for tougher jobs such as grinding woodturning tools and for sharpening planer blades. 

The T3 shares these two features - stainless mainshaft and seven year warranty - but is designed for lighter, occasional, use.  (See spec.)  Reflecting this type of use and typical "recreational" user needs, the grinding wheel on the T3 is smaller in diameter and narrower.  The full range of jigs can be used with the T3 but use of this machine for tougher jobs such as power planer blade sharpening is not recommended.

Whilst the T3 has been engineered to provide an economical entry point into the world of wet grinding, the SuperGrind  T7 offers all of the productivity features that it them perfectly at home in professional and enthusiast's workshops and with commercial and industrial tool sharpening services around the world.
