Tormek Sharpening System
Proven for many years and constantly perfected wet working sharpening machines are the basis of the ingenious Tormek sharpening system. A range of jigs, which can be mounted on the universal support, makes the sharpening of any cutting tool easier. Tormek enables exact cutting geometry and consistent results for chisels, turning tools, knives, shears or machine tools. Also suitable for workshops and instructional settings because of safe operation - no sparks are produced and it has an overload safety clutch.
The offered grinding wheels assure short sharpening times under all conditions in combination with the greatest possible tool protection. The offset front end can also be used for flat honing. The leather honing wheel removes burrs quickly and leaves a perfectly polished cutting edge. Robust construction with solid housing and lowerable water container.
