TO-T8

The Tormek T-8 Original is a powerful and versatile water cooled sharpening system that includes everything you need to take your sharpening to the next level. The advanced design and its user-friendly operation give you the best possible conditions for successful sharpening with top results. The Tormek T-8 Original is ideal for quality-conscious do-it-yourselfers as well as professionals.
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.
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.
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.

Wish I would of bought this years ago!! Game changer for all my shop tools and knife collection. Finally they have a new true edge. The only question is what accessory to purchase next from Axeman. Thanks Jeremy for excellent service and a follow up phone call. You don't get that anymore except from Axeman!
First, Jeremy is the best customer service I've ever experienced. I'm 76 - so this means something. Everything about buying the Tormek T8 from Axeman is like time traveling - going back to when things were made to last and the merchant was in it for the long haul. Sharpened my first tool yesterday - a 3/4" Irwin Marples chisel - a mirror finish near razor sharp chisel. I can't think of any way this experience could be improved. Everything is impeccable - Jeremy and Tormek!!! Just watch a lot of videos and read the manual a few times and you're in business!
Great machine!!!!
Love it
