The new Tormek Supergrind T-7 is the same basic model as the older Tormek 2006, but it now comes with a new accessory, the SE-76 Square Edge Jig, and it includes two accessories that were optional with the 2006 model Tormek, the SP-650 Stone Grader, and the TT-50 Truing Tool. Also, the color has been changed to Swedish blue.

The Tormek Water Cooled Grinding Machine is possibly the most sophisticated sharpening system ever conceived. With its myriad of jigs, the Tormek offers you a precise way to handle almost every sharpening problem. The large 10" diameter Tormek wheel helps to minimize the common problem of hollow grinding that weakens the cutting edge by reducing the bevel angle at the cutting edge, and the Tormek wet wheel almost eliminates the common problem of overheating the blade. The way cabinetmakers used to sharpen their irons was with large treadle turned sandstone wheels with a water bath. The Tormek unit is as close to this as you can get today without putting one of the old treadle machines in your shop.

After grinding your tools on the Tormek grinding wheel, you complete the sharpening process on the leather honing wheel, which lets achieve a razor sharp edge without using bench stones.

The Tormek method is also safer. At the slow speed at which the Tormek wheel turns, you can fully control the grinding operation. When used properly, the Tormek produces no sparks, so there is less risk to your eyes and less risk of grinding sparks starting a fire.

Tormek Original Grindstone

The Tormek Original Grindstone has been developed to run at low speed in water. It is vitrified bonded and contains grains of aluminium-oxide. The stone grinds very effectively and gives a fine finish to the tool. It quickly grinds large tools like plane irons, axes, scythes and even HSS steel. The grit rating is 220 and the grain size is 0,06 mm (0,0024").

The unique composition of the stone, together with the gives you two different cutting actions in one stone. The stone grader polishes 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 setting of the jig as used for the initial shaping* of the tool.

The outside of the stone has a depressed centre and a machined flat, smooth surface for

The Tormek Original Grindstone is the best choice if you work with a wide variety of steel types and tool shapes. For special applications see our optional stones,
