Tormek T-8 Custom

TO-T8 Custom

Create your own water-cooled sharpening system


Customize your own water-cooled sharpening system with the Tormek T-8 Custom. This enables you to create your own Tormek sharpening system, with your favorite accessories. Just add a grinding wheel, honing wheel, the right jigs and your own creativity. The Tormek T-8 Custom is ideal if you either have specific grinding wheel and honing wheel needs. Or maybe you already have a number of accessories and want to add another machine to your collection?

Why the Tormek T-8 Custom?

  • Choose the grinding wheel and honing wheel that suit your needs and create your own Tormek water-cooled sharpening system.
  • Sharpen all your edge tools by adding the jigs you need.
  • Water-cooled sharpening with no risk of overheating the steel.
  • Exact repeatability– sharpen your tools with unbeatable precision.
  • Solid zinc frame with integrated mounts for controllable and accurate sharpening.
  • Powerful industrial AC motor for continuous use.
  • 8-year warranty, 5 years + 3 years when you register online.

Create your own Tormek T-8 water-cooled sharpening system

The Tormek T-8 Custom includes a stripped Tormek T-8 sharpening machine without grinding wheel or honing wheel. The box includes the basic Tormek accessories: HB-10 Tormek Sharpening Handbook, WM-200 AngleMaster for measuring the bevel angle, and US-105 Universal Support for the jigs. The rest you decide for yourself by adding other accessories separately.

Choose your grinding wheel

Every tool is unique. Add the grinding wheel that suits your needs. Perhaps the versatile SG-250 Original Grindstone with adjustable sharpening properties equivalent to 220 to 1000 grit? Or one of the durable and extremely hard diamond grinding wheels? The SB-250 Blackstone Silicon special grindstone for quickly shaping and sharpening HSS steel? Or why not try the 4000 grit SJ-250 Japanese Waterstone for a mirror finish? The choice is yours!

Choose your honing wheel

A honing wheel is essential to remove the burr and achieve maximum sharpness. Your edge tool is polished to razor sharpness when you use the LA-220 Leather Honing Wheel together with our honing compound. The CW-220 Composite Honing Wheel with integrated polish easily removes the burr without honing compound. Pick your favorite!

Tormek T-8 – A powerful and versatile sharpening system

The Tormek T-8 is a powerful and versatile water-cooled sharpening system. The machine has a maintenance-free industrial AC motor, designed to run the grinding wheel during continuous use. The powerful motor is tested for a 25,000 hour service life. The efficient system manages to maintain a constant speed, even under full load, thanks to its unique drive wheel. The motor and the characteristic Tormek drive system guarantee you many years of silent and reliable operation.

Smart features, such as the Tormek EzyLock nut, which enables tool-free locking and unlocking of the grinding wheel, and the advanced water trough equipped with a screw lift and magnetic scraper, complete the Tormek T-8 as the ultimate sharpening system for all kinds of edge tools.

Please note that a grinding wheel, honing wheel, and jigs are not included with the Tormek T-8 Custom. Buy them separately to complete your system.

The reference

I mean, I would not have 4 of these if I was not convinced it’s the product to have. Reliability, warranty, precision, consistancy of the results. No vibration. That’s what you are looking for and you get it there.

Love it! So many potential uses

Absolutely loving it so far. Much quieter than I assumed it would be, I don't have to worry about annoying the neighbors when I sharpen my tools. Clearly built to last, the quality is fantastic
