Create your own Tormek T-8 Custom

The Tormek T-8 Custom includes a clean Tormek T-8 sharpening machine without a grinding wheel and honing wheel. In addition, the package includes just the essential Tormek accessories: the HB-10 Tormek Handbook on sharpening, the WM-200 AngleMaster to measure the edge angle, the US-105 Universal Support to give support for the jigs, and the Tormek instructional DVD. The rest is up to you to decide by just adding the other accessories separately.

Choose your grinding wheel

Every tool is unique. Add the grinding wheel that suits your needs. Maybe the all-round Original Grindstone with adjustable characteristics equivalent to 220 to 1000 grit? One of the durable and extremely hard Diamond Wheels? The Blackstone Silicon to quickly shape and sharpen HSS steel? Or the 4000 grit Japanese Waterstone for a mirror finish? The choice is yours!

Choose your honing wheel

A honing wheel is essential to remove the burr and get a sharp edge. The Leather Honing Wheel will get you the greatest possible sharpness and finish when used with the Honing Compound. The Composite Honing Wheel has integrated polish to remove the burr and is easy to use. 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 drive 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 driving wheel. The motor and the characteristic Tormek drive system ensure you have years of silent and reliable operation.

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