The Tormek T-8 Original maximises precision thanks to the fully cast housing, which guarantees minimal play for the Universal Support.
The Tormek T-8 Original maximises precision thanks to the fully cast housing, which guarantees minimal play for the Universal Support. The previously mounted sleeves for the Universal Support are integrated into the cast housing, improving control of the sharpening and the accuracy of the final results. Tormek's unique drive system is efficient and holds a constant speed, even under full load. The Tormek Original Grindstone sharpens all qualities of steel, including HSS.
The machine features a number of elaborated details, like instant stone locking with EzyLock and a water trough with screw lift for easier fitting. The removable scraper incorporates a strong magnet, which attracts the steel particles ground from the tools being sharpened. This keeps your stone clean and cutting freely, as these particles would otherwise be pressed into the stone surface. When you clean the trough, most of the steel will be on the magnet and is released when you remove the scraper. For long tools that drip water over the edge (like chef's knives and planer blades), a water chute can be set on the lip of the trough to direct the water back.

Both machines sharpen all common edge tools with the same jig system. The difference is in size and capacity:
Tormek T-4 – 200 mm grindstone, 120 W motor for intermittent use (30 min per hour), weighs 8 kg. For home and hobby use.
Tormek T-8 – 250 mm grindstone, solid cast housing with minimal play and an industrial motor for continuous use, weighs 14.8 kg. For those who sharpen a lot.
The T-8 Custom is a T-8 without stone and honing wheel, so you choose your own. The T-4 Bushcraft is a T-4 with a knife jig and axe jig in the box.
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.
The jigs are usually not included with the machine; you choose them by the tools you want to sharpen. All jigs fit both the T-4 and the T-8:
SE-77 – chisels and plane blades with a straight or slightly cambered edge
KJ-45 and KJ-140 – centring knife jigs for symmetrical bevels
SVD-186R – turning gouges, carving gouges and V-tools
SVS-50 – skew chisels, parting tools and carving tools
AX-40 – axes
SVX-150 and SC-60 – scissors
SVH-320 – planer blades
DBS-22 – twist drills 3–22 mm
The HTK-906 and TNT-808 kits collect the most common jigs for hand tools and woodturning respectively.
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.
