Product Review

Let’s start with the obvious – this is an incredible sharpening kit. Of course, it’s for woodworkers of all proficiency levels, but it’s also ideal for anyone looking to start a sharpening service – it’s that complete. The Tormek T-8 is our top of the line water-cooled sharpening system, and is – by far – the best sharpening system one can buy. If you use tools that need a finely honed, razor-sharp edge, this machine will give you a lifetime of excellent service, and ensure your tools have an edge that allows you to effortlessly work your magic. It sharpens all manner of tools – knives, scissors, wood chisels, plane irons, spoke shaves, carving tools, lathe turning tools, Axes, and much more. If it has an edge, the Tormek T-8 will sharpen it. The Tormek Grindstone is constructed so that with the Stone Grader it can be treated to change its property from 220 grit to 1,000 grit. This has obvious advantages. You can make both the first fast grinding and the sharpening on the same grindstone and the same grinding machine and with the same jig setting. Included with this kit are the following: The sharpener, the above-mentioned grinding wheel, an 8-3/4" Diameter x 1-1/4" genuine leather honing wheel, Angle Master, Honing Compound, Stone Grader, Diamond Truing Tool, Advanced Square Edge Jig, Handbook and Instructional DVD. The included Hand Tool Kit includes the Knife Jig, Small Knife Holder, Long Knife Jig, Scissors Jig, Axe Sharpening Jig and Short Tool Jig. Also included is the Woodturners Kit, which includes the Tool Rest with Torlock, Universal Gouge Jig, Profiled Leather Honing Wheel, Multi Jig, Tormek Cover, Turning Tool Setter, and Turners Instruction Box. All packaged neatly together, this awesome system comes with a seven-year warranty.
