It is fast, precise, simple and did an outstanding job. No jig provided for sharpening knives, so I had to order one. It did a good job sharpening knives. it was not as easy sharpening knives as sharpening plane irons because you had to keep the blade parallel to the cutting edge of the stone which took some practice and required developing the skill. The result was a very sharp knife but the knife edge did not look pretty or uniform. All in all this is an amazing machine and worth buying. Review: but it's a great tool. It does a remarkable job at sharpening ... - It is expensive, but it's a great tool. It does a remarkable job at sharpening kitchen knives--and they stay sharp. No more hiding the one good sharp knife (laboriously sharpened with a stone) that I need, and then my wife finds it and begins to use it and somehow dulls it. All the knives that I sharpened are still sharp! I have sharpened a few chisels, but no plane blades yet. Flattening the back of a chisel is easily done on the side of the wheel. I knew that I could change the apparent grit on the wheel from 220 to about 1000 by using the abrader block that comes with the tool, but I had not realized that I could use the honing wheel to polish the entire bevel to a fine finish. (Use the included angle setup tool on the smaller honing wheel to accomplish this step.) I think I prefer to use a fine water or diamond stone to remove the wire edge after the other sharpening steps are done. I have used the honing wheel for this purpose, as suggested by the manual, but it is a bit difficult to get the back of the chisel exactly tangential to the honing wheel at the contact point. I inadvertently put a small reverse bevel on the back of a few chisels before I realized my mistake. They would still shave, however. A diamond wheel truing tool is included. This permits the user to true the surface of the wheel to be exactly parallel to the bar that supports all the jigs that are used with the Tormek system. If you are willing to spend the money, it is a cleverly designed system which can sharpen a variety of tools. ## Features - Sharpen all your edge tools. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01FHLUMSQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #312,435 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #59 in Power Bench Grinders | | Brand | Tormek | | Brand Name | Tormek | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 302 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 8 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 07392485000471 | | Grit Type | Fine | | Included Components | Tormek T-8 Water Cooled Precision Sharpening System, 10 Inch Stone. | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 15"L x 11.5"W x 15"H | | Item Type Name | Tormek T-8 Water Cooled Precision Sharpening System, 10 Inch Stone | | Item Weight | 18.13 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Tormek | | Manufacturer Part Number | T-8 | | Material | Zinc Alloy | | Material Type | Zinc Alloy | | Model Number | T8 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 15"L x 11.5"W x 15"H | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tormek - **EU Spare Part Availability Duration:** 8 Years - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 07392485000471 - **Grit Type:** Fine - **Item Weight:** 18.13 Kilograms - **Manufacturer:** TORMEK - **Material:** Zinc Alloy - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Product Dimensions:** 15"L x 11.5"W x 15"H ## Images ![T-8 Original – Water Cooled Sharpening System for Edge Tools – US Version – English Handbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61xYGwfK3UL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Model** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can this be used to sharpen lawn mower blades? Also, what jig would I need to buy to be able to do so?** A: No, this is not the tool for lawnmower blades. I use my 2x72 belt grinder for this and I can sharpen a blade in a couple minutes! **Q: How often we need to change new stone? We run commercial kitchen!** A: The stone is 10" in diameter when new. When it reaches 7.5" in diameter it needs to be replaced. It takes a long time to get there, but it obviously depends on how and how much you use it, how often you true it, and whether you use it to shape your edge tools or just to sharpen and touch them up. Not one of our thousands of customers has ever complained about having to change the stone too often. **Q: can I sharpen hair clipper blades with this** A: If the blade is removable, there should be no problem **Q: Could I purchase them from amazon and ship all of them to Taiwan?** A: I don't know of any prohibition to doing that. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ versatile tool for sharpening woohworking tools *by A***R on April 23, 2023* Used it to sharpen plan irons and chisels with the jig included with the machine.

Then I went to the belt style sharpener where it just ate through belts almost every time I sharpened just a couple of knives. So then I said, OK, you get what you pay for and just spent the money on the Tormek T8. For accessories, I purchased the rotating base, the cover, a Blackstone Silicon stone, and the blade sharpening jig kit. I'll have to say I'm very impressed. This system comes with a wire-bound book that tells you not only the theory of sharpening (advantages/disadvantages of the stone rotating towards or away from you, etc.) but also how to sharpen just about everything that has an edge. There is a tiny learning curve (as with everything) and I started on a knife and axe that I didn't care about if I scratched it, and I had no problems--everything came out perfect. With just 4 passes on each side I got my Buck knife so sharp that it would cut through the edge of a piece of paper just under its own weight. It comes with a marker to paint the bevel of a blade so that you can perfectly fine tune how the bevel contacts the stone. It also comes with a jig that allows you to set the angle of a blade if you want to achieve a certain result. The machine comes with everything you'll need to get started. Just using it on an axe and a hunting knife and I was confident enough to sharpen our expensive kitchen knives. The Tormek system is worth every penny. My plan is to get the Japanese Waterstone so that I can get a mirror edge on my expensive knives.
