The unique composition of this stone, together with the Stone Grader SP-650, gives you two different cutting actions in one grindstone. The Stone Grader changes the surface of the grindstone from its normal 220 grit to a finish that works like a 1000 grit stone. This is a great advantage, since you can do the fine sharpening with the same jig setting as used for the initial shaping of the tool.
Fits Tormek T-4 and previous Tormek models with a 200 mm stone diameter.
First choose the right grindstone size: 200 mm for the T-4 and 250 mm for the T-8. Then choose by what you sharpen:
Original grindstone SG – an all-round stone supplied with the machine. With the SP-650 stone grader you change the surface from 220 grit to about 1000 grit.
Blackstone Silicon SB – for high-speed steel (HSS), such as turning tools
Japanese water stone SJ – 4000 grit for a polished, razor-sharp edge
Diamond wheel DC, DF or DE – 360, 600 or 1200 grit, for any material including ceramics and carbide. Use the ACC-150 anti-corrosion concentrate in the water.
There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
