The highest quality made in Sweden
The Tormek T-8 Original is equipped with the SG-250 Original Grindstone that has adjustable characteristics equivalent to 220 to 1000 grit and can sharpen all qualities of steel, including HSS steel. The industrial AC motor is maintenance-free and designed to drive the full-size grinding wheel during continuous use. The motor is tested for a 25,000 hour service life.
Water trough with screw lift and magnetic scraper
The water trough has a convenient screw lift to easily raise and lower the water trough. It also has a double function magnetic scraper: during sharpening, the magnet collects steel particles, and after sharpening, the scraper will make it easy to clean the water trough. For long tools that may drip water outside the water trough (like chef's knives and planer blades), you can easily fit the enclosed water chute onto the edge of the water trough.
EzyLock to quickly switch grinding wheels
Another worked-through detail is the stainless-steel main shaft with Tormek's unique EzyLock nut, which enables tool-free locking and unlocking of the grinding wheel.
Includes everything you need to get started with your sharpening
I have many GB and hultafors axes and this was a huge surprise. Not only was the fit and finish pristine but the grind was spot and on as well. I bought this axe specifically for splitting seasoned firewood and it blows through its not even there, I took it in the bush as well to see how it did on greenwood trees and it bit through nicely. Maybe not as good as a thinner profiled axe like the forest axe but the difference was nearly unnoticeable. The stock sheath isn’t great but there are many aftermarket options out there. Great axe, enough said.
Quickly shipped ,items well packaged ,those small wedge are easy to carry , i use a large carabiner to fit two of them .I mostly use them while cutting wood wild camping and overlanding ,they take little space and do the job .
