The Tormek T-4 is a high quality and compact sharpening machine, ideal for home and hobby work as well as professional use. You get access to the extensive Tormek jig system and can sharpen all the common edge tools with highest precision. Water cooled sharpening Tormek T-4 is an enhancement of the T-3 model taking the precision and stability to a completely new level. Vital functions like the motor and the main shaft are mounted in the zinc cast top, which also includes integrated sleeves for the Universal Support. This advanced design ensures an unbeatable precision for the Universal Support, which control all jigs and accessories. Grinding wheel for both coarse and fine sharpening Like the larger Tormek models, the T-4 is equipped with the Tormek Original Grindstone. It is optimized to combine efficient steel removal, smooth surface finish and a long life. With the included Stone Grader, you can alter the stone surface from 220 grit to about a 1000 grit surface, giving you two different sharpening qualities in one stone. Sharpen chisels, knives, scissors, carving tools and more The T-4 is well suited for sharpening chisels, knives, scissors, and smaller tools like carving tools. It also works with turning tools and drill bits. For sharpening planer blade knives (with SVH-320) and moulding knives (with SVP-80) we recommend one of the larger Tormek machine models. Note that a few shapes of gouges cannot be honed with the SVD-186 R Gouge Jig on the leather honing wheel due to the compact size of the Tormek T-4. These tools can be honed freehand instead. The motor is rated for 30-minutes continuous use at a time. That is usually more than enough for the typical household needs, but if you sharpen more we advise you to take a look at Tormek T-8 which can run continuously.
