Hi there! Happy to hear, welcome to the Tormek family! Here's a link to a video about the Tormek T-8 Black: ru-vid.comLQ3gcUhk29U?si=l7i_i1QGLZGP2H9C You can reuse the water mixed with ACC-150 Anti Corrosion Concentrate, just make sure to lower your water trough so that your diamond wheel doesn't rest in it. Let us know at support@tormek.se if you need any help going forward. Good luck, and stay sharp! /Hugo from Tormek

Nothing wrong with that that’s a compliment

I sharpen my Oster blades on A Spider Co. ceramic, fine Grit stone.

It's the guy from Record Power, i knew it!😀

Open a can of "English salesman"

Hi! Happy to hear you are considering a Tormek! The water shute is included when you purchase the Tormek T-8 Original, so you should be all good 😊

I recently purchased the t8 and the hand tool jig set. I forgot to buy the turntable and the cloth cover

Alan the man 😎

Olá Wagner. Infelizmente só hoje li seu comentário. Já tenho um máquina dessas há mais de um ano, só que a minha é a T-7... Posso lhe assegurar que valeu cada centavo que paguei. Pode confiar integralmente no anunciado. Abraços.

I think you could use the long knife jig and you'd just have to sharpen like 8 inches at a time and keep moving the jig down the blade until you reach the tip.

Hey Paul, Any advice on this issue?

I put a old towel in a glass pie plate that the stone will lay flat in and soak it then put the stone flat in the plate on top of the spread out towel then fold the towel edges on top of the stone then pour enough water in the pie plate to keep it wet - just my common sense 2cents

Hello Emad, From what I understand from Google Translate you want to buy a machine. We don't have a reseller in Egypt, but we have one in Turkey. You can check if they could send it to Egypt. Please see this reseller: www.nalburcuk.com/arama/tormek Best regards /Tormek

Hej K3Fyguy, the quality of the cutting edge is much better when edge leading compared to edge trailing due the fact that the burr is much finer and easier to hone away. You have also better control over the alignment of the blade on the stones surface, because you can easily see ow the water runs over the blade. Important is only to have a steady pressure forward and therefore automatically down on the universal support. Just check our Live Sharpening Classes for all the finer details for your to succeed with your sharpening. ru-vid.com/group/PLGpQjduHna4DOfmVeoXe0J9J9dEEqU0UN //Wolfgang

Hej Michael, can you please write an email to support@tormek.se, explaining your problem and sending photos? Thank you!

Hi Sam, Great question! What grits you might need to go through is of course dependant of the condition your tool is in. The SG-250 Original Grindstone has adjustable sharpening characteristics equivalent to between 220-1000 grit, using the SP-650 Stone Grader. After sharpening, you deburr and polish the edge on the LA-220 Leather Honing Wheel with our PA-70 Honing Compound, which has some, super fine, abrasive medium as well. You can read up on all of these products on our web, and I'd recommend starting with our grinding wheels, since that seems to be your interest: tormek.com/en/knowledge/the-tormek-way-of-sharpening/grinding-wheels-guide All products mentioned above is included with the Tormek T-8 Original by the way. Hope this was helpful. Stay sharp! /Hugo and the Tormek team

@@TormekSharpening yes, I just recently watched a video on the KJ-45. Can't wait to get one. Thanks again 👍🏻

Happy you like it and found your way over to our channel! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on our sharpening system. Stay sharp!

Yep, it's effortless.

Of course you can use it at room temperature! 👍 Stay sharp & safe!

Hej there, for all markets where we do not have an importer you can contact our German reseller Dictum. They offer worldwide shipping: www.dictum.com/en/manufacturer-tormek

Yes, it gives a slightly hollow edge, although we talk about extremely small differences. For example, when you sharpen a knife with a 2 mm bevel with a 250 mm grindstone (T-8) you'll get a concavity that is less than 0,005 mm. To get a completely flat grind you can use our Diamond Wheels and sharpen on the side of the wheel. Watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SRAa8MA-Nr0.html

How much of a hollow would it give to a chisel???

I can't give you an exact answer because it depends on how big the chisel is but I can guarantee you that it won't affect your work.

Hej, can you please send us an e-mail on support@tormek.se in english that we can help you with your question, thank you. /Wolfgang

you can contact us on info@tormek.se 😊

not to mention the waterstone is 4000 to 6000 grit and you still need to buy a coarse diamond wheel at $300 and medium at $300.

We do not sell ourselves but have listed all our resellers on tormek.com

Hej Kas, thank you !

I need to know the cost for this complete system including shipping to my address in Jamaica

Oh hi Mark! We don't sell to end user, so youll have to check with a reseller for their prices. I know Dictum ships world wide, and i think forezienne does too.

car? tv? computer? plane? phone? internet? how was it all done before?

Hej Joseph, it was done in different ways, some good, but time consuming and some fast and with mediocre or unusable results. ;-) /Wolfgang

The best hobby there is! :D
