The Tormek T-8 is rated for continuous use and has a vast array of specialty jigs available so you can quickly and easily sharpen virtually any tool in your house,or workshop. The heart of the T-8 is the Tormek SG-250 10" x 2" grinding wheel turning at a slow 90 rpm through water which acts as a lubricant for faster grinding while it continuously cools the tool edge to prevent "bluing" the metal. After grinding, the 8-3/4" x 1-1/4" genuine leather honing wheel gently removes the burr and hones the edge to razor sharpness.
The T-8 System also includes the Angle Master, Honing Compound, Stone Grader, Diamond Truing Tool, New SE-77 Square Edge Jig, Handbook and Instructional DVD. The Tormek T-8 is backed by a Seven-Year Warranty.
