Tormek T4 Grinding Machine, 120 W

This is a great professional and home system. It can sharpen your knife to below 100 BESS and when you get experienced enough - even razor sharp at 50 BESS. It saves a lot of time - compared to the water stones, which are like ancient history. However getting better on this system takes time and watching a lot of utube. So do a LOT of training on cheap knives before you proceed on sharpening your expensive knives. You should train on at least 20 blades, before doing any expensive knife. Also I highly recommend taking the 4000 grit japanese water stone. It is a GAME CHANGER!! Without it - I'm able to reach min 200 BESS, while with the japanese water stone - I can go below 100 BESS. The water stone can be purchased from fine-tools (dot) com / Tormek.html

Probably the best quality you can get for the price but it would have been nice if you could have chosen one tool holder for free as it doesn't come with any

The only downside with this machine is the price. It’s a solid piece of kit and my chisels and planes have never been so sharp.

hi i found that this is fine and good, it dose what it says on the tin , the down side is there is a nylon washer on the shaft and this over time wheres out of round.witch in turn sends the grining wheel out of round. it takes a lot to bring it back to round and the nilon washer will set you back £4.00at that price you would think a spear washer would be with this . other than that its a very fine tool .

Perfect for shaping and sharpening woodturning gouges and chisels and the watercooled grindstone alleviates heat buildup in the metal. Great product! Thoroughly recommend.

Excellent piece of machinery a bit expensive but does a fantastic job

It’s all true. These really are the best wet stone sharpening machines, even supplied with some plasters ready for when you cut yourself.It used to take me a couple of hours to sharpen all my chisels and plane blades but this can now be done in around 20 minutes to very nearly the same level of sharpness - distinct lack of hair on my arms to show for it !I know they are more expensive than the others but do it - you won’t regret it.

I wish l bought it before many years l ve been sharpening my knives with the japanese stones given fantastic edges but Tormek T-4 different .My japanese knives never been sharp like this even Global knives become unbelievably sharp ...dont think one minute just buy it.I use different leather strop with a dmt diamond compound yellow 1 micron.
