Best vid out of three KZread’s I watched on this subject, thanks.

I bought the Tormek T7 sharpening system a couple of weeks ago. I have sharpened several things already. there are a lot of jigs and determining which one to use for each application can be a little confusing however the booklets and the CDs are very helpful. I have sharpened my lathe turning tools a couple of times and it hasn't taken long at all. I sharpened the worlds dullest chisels today and tomorrow plan on sharpening my jointer knives. It is almost fun. you won't regret it.

Nice job, i just bought a Tormek and will buy the jig and give it a try on my DeWalt. well done good video.

Well done video. Thank you.

Thanks a lot, I was looking for this jig, and it is good to know that there is one in the market

An old friend gave me Tormek supergrind 2000 he had no use for it and I will get the jig for plane blades i have dewalt planer and ill give it a try thanks for the video

good idea to make a second mini bevel by changing the angle a little ? ( like for chisels)

I love my TORMEK! I'm a woodcarver and need my 3 dozen or so chisels to be super sharp. Now, I have to sneak up on these babies and wouldn't dare look cross-eyed at 'em -- they are THAT sharp! Like the man said, the Tormek makes sharpening anything fun. The biggest problem you'll have if knowing when to stop. The system is worth every penny. As a sideline, I started a sharpening business with it and haven't looked back! Great video, man!

Hi Robert. I'm interested in your new sharpening business as I was thinking of doing the same and there is a need in my area. Please e-mail me at MJLeClair_16@yahoo.com. I'd love to pick your brain

I have a tormek .ive had it for 20 yrs.i sharpen everything. I would use a drywall mud pan to catch the water coming off that long blade. ..just an idea

i have the T8 and the svh-320 jig and tried to sharpen 10" planer blades that are 3/4" wide. It put a good edge on the blade but putting the edge of the blade on a surface table showed it did not grind it straight. i have tried several times, using the diamond truing tool and applying even light pressure but i just cant get a straight edge. has anyone else had this issue?

Could I use this attachment to grind my chipper blades that are 1/4 inch thick

Part of the process of learning about machinery and the maintenance of equipment is listening to the sound it makes as it is being worked on. It would be a better idea to refrain from introducing what one might consider to be lovely music as it obliterates the sound of the blade being sharpened in the proper manner. Another point is that others might consider your musical selection to be... ah... less than lovely and would prefer to hear the natural sound of the knife blade as material is being abraded from it..... Just saying.

Exactly. I run a small sharpening shop and I use my hearing more than anything. And the sound is soothing. I've tried sharpening blindfolded, but honestly - it's not a good idea:-) Saw blades, saw chains etc. is another story.

Tormek wet grinding is obsolete since the invention of CBN grinding wheels. (Cubic Boron Nitride). CBN is unlike most grinding mediums in that it doesn’t get the removed metal filings embedded into it. As a result- it doesn’t heat up the item being ground and change its temper. No bluing of the metal at the edges & no cooling / lubricating water required. The CBN wheels being steel that’s coated with CBN- wicks away any slight heat into the wheel itself which because it’s spinning in air self cools. So your cold grinding, with no water! Great for plane irons- planer / thicknesser knives, chisels etc. CBN is almost as hard as Diamond, so basically doesn’t wear out, you should get 10years + out of one wheel. I have one 6 inch CBN wheel on my bench grinder & another on my Sherwood flat surface grinder, and can do all the tool steel & HSS tools in the workshop. I use a diamond wheel saw blade sharpener, for tungsten carbide tipped saw blades! Diamond is better for TC sharpening than CBN. So the only thing that goes to saw doctors for sharpening now is band saw blades! And the best thing? You can buy a new Sherwood flat surface grinder, and a replacement CBN wheel for it, combined for about half the cost of now obsolete Tormek over priced garbage! I have videos of the Sherwood CBN upgrade & sharpening my planer blades on it! kzread.info/dash/bejne/kaudydSsfdOtabA.html kzread.info/dash/bejne/kWSclKitfZnUnaQ.html Sadly Tormek wet grinding is obsolete technology these days, since the advent of cold grinding CBN wheels! Tormek is also wickedly over priced outdated technology! Cheers!

CBN wheels heat up just like the rest, it is absolutely possible to temper your tools with CBN wheels. Every grinding operation produces heat unless you are actively removing the heat with some type of coolant.

You've spent over $600 on that gear and any wet stone will do the job as well or better, they never overheat as they revolve so slow and are wet!

Ian Moone: Any idea where I can dispose of my Tormek? After you enlightened me about CBN wheels I went out to my shop, grabbed my obsolete Tormek and headed to the dump. They just laughed at me and said they'd have to charge me more than I paid for it just to leave it with them. Then I went to the metal recycling center to see if they'd take it but they said Tormeks are such obsolete pieces of (s)crap that they'd have to charge me a toxic waste dumping fee of $800. What to do? Sad face, sad face, tears.

@@christophergreene7027 I’ve recently seen Tormek wet stone grinders being sold cheap on our equivalent of the USA Craig’s list. If your Tormek works for you then stick with it. As counter intuitive as it sounds - dry grinding with CBN doesn’t heat your blade the way most grind stones do. When I’m sharpening chisels for eg on my 6 inch bench grinder with the CBN wheel I can and do hold my chisel on the tool rest with my thumb up near the edge being ground. It barely gets warm to the touch, never enough to burn my thumb or make me have to pull my hand / thumb away. Also it never heats the edge to blue & change the temper. I know it’s counter intuitive, I own alum oxide grinding wheels and wet wheels and have used them over 40 years, but nowadays I don’t go past my CBN wheels - they are my first choice. No need for water & wet grinding any more. Unless you try it yourself you will never believe it. Tormek is seriously over priced. kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4OMusuJe5SyZNY.html

I'm asking everyone... If you could buy a Tormek (without jigs) or a Worksharp WS3000 for the same price which one would you buy??

That jig should come with an extension pan for the resevoir...

The T8 comes with an extension pan. For the T7 it's optional.

Hi, I have also just bought a T7 after having the smaller machine for several years.I am curious to know if the jig is able to grip bigger 10mm thick blades that are on my garden mulcher. The blades are doubled sided, 50mm wide x 10mm thick and 200mm long. It wouldn't be too big a job to mill up another holder to fit the blade but wopuld be nice to to just use the standard jig.

when it is chipped and must remove 1mm metal, is that a good tool?

Tormek T8 is the best you can get. For your purpose you will need the coarse diamond stone instead of the standard SG. Btw. Those chips/dents always look huge. I am often surprised by how small they really are.

Bonjour pourriez vous faire le commentaire en francais voir en sous titrage merci d'avance .

It mite be sharp but you should sharpen them equal in 1 pass

Как приобрести купить такой заточной станок.

Sure, but you can sharpen everything with the Tormek, except chainsaw chains and circular saw blades. Also you never have to drive off and buy new blades or have them sharpened. You simply sharpen it yourself without major downtime.

For carbide tooling (most router bits, some planer/jointer knifes) you need SiC or diamond grinding wheels.
