Tormek Sharpening Systems
The key word when sharpening the Tormek way is repeatability. The tools are guided in jigs- you only remove only a minute fraction of the steel at each sharpening, which makes it fast. An extra benefit is that your tools last longer. |

Truing Tool
With this unique tool, Tormek TT-50, you can true and dress your grindstone exactly round and flat. It mounts and locks instantly on the Tormek Universal Support. The tool is guided by the Universal Support, which also guides the jigs. This ensures that the stone surface is always parallel to the tool fitted in the jig. |

Stone Grader
The Tormek Grindstone is constructed so that with the Stone Grader it can be treated to change its property from fast grinding to fine grinding, i.e. sharpening. This has obvious advantages. You can make both the first fast grinding and the sharpening on the same grindstone and the same grinding machine and with the same setting of the jig. Besides being a very fast method, you achieve a perfect edge as the fine grinding is done in exactly the same position as the first fast grinding.
The grading of the grindstone is made by pressing the fine side of the Stone Grader onto the grindstone, which makes it work as a fine grit stone (approx. 1000 grit). When pressing the coarse side onto the grindstone, the smoothened surface is returned to its normal condition (220 grit). This process does not place excessive wear on the grindstone and can be repeated any number of times.

Profiled Leather Honing Wheel
This wheel has exchangeable leather discs so you can easily replace a disc with a worn tip. Discs with alternative, narrower profiles are available as optional extra.
The two standard discs have a radius of 3 mm (1/8") and a 60º tip. The set of optional extra discs have a radius of 2 mm (3/32") and a 45º tip. These smaller disc profiles permit the honing of small carving tools with very narrow profiles. The diameter of the larger wheel has been increased from 100 mm (4") to 120 mm (4¾"), which speeds up the honing process

Turning Tool Setter
This patented Turning Tool Setter perfects the Tormek Sharpening System for woodturning tools. It enables you to exactly create and replicate the edge on your bowl and spindle gouges as well as on your flat or oval skews with either a straight or a curved edge. The Setter works in conjunction with the Gouge Jig SVD-185 and the Multi Jig SVS-50.
The strength of the TTS-100 Setter is that it works irrespectively of the stone diameter. You always get exactly the same edge angle – even as the stone decreases in diameter. The Turning Tool Setter works equally well when setting the edge angle on the leather honing wheel

Honing Compound
One application lasts for 5 - 10 tools. Then re-impregnate the honing wheel with a few drops of oil and apply fresh honing compound. Work the honing compound into the leather. Do not let the compound dry, apply more oil if necessary |

Knife Jig
The jig for knife sharpening comprises an adjustable clamp for holding knives of any thickness and an adjustable stop. You adjust the jig to the knife thickness with the screw and lock by tightening the knob.
The jig rests on the Universal Support. The exact edge angle is set by rotating the stop or with the Micro Adjust on the Universal Support.
The Universal Support is normally placed vertically for knife sharpening towards the edge. Short knives can also be ground away from the edge with the Universal Support placed horizontally.

|
|
Long Knife Jig
This jig is made especially for long and thin knives. It works in the same way as the SVM-45 jig but it is wider and therefore gives more support to long and thin blades.
The jig comprises an adjustable clamp for holding knives of any thickness and an adjustable stop. You adjust the jig to the knife thickness with the screw. You lock the tool by tightening the knob.
The jig rests on the Universal Support. The exact edge angle is set by rotating the stop or with the Micro Adjust on the Universal Support. The Universal Support is placed vertically for grinding towards the edge.
|
|
|
|
Scissor Jig
The jig for scissors sharpening comprises a support plate and a holder with two clamps for the scissors. Usually you use only the right clamp. For large scissors and garden shears you use both clamps.
You adjust the clamp to fit the scissors’ thickness with the screw. You lock the scissors by tightening the knob. The support plate has a sliding surface, so the holder with the scissors can easily be moved while it is pressed onto the plate.

Universal Gouge Jig
The jig comprises a tool holder which runs in a sleeve. The tool is aligned with a disc and tightened with a knob screw. There is a washer for wide gouges. The stop ring can be set for a convex bevel with a screw.
The tool holder can be set in any position from 0 to 5 with the 5 mm allen key. The setting can be noted on a special recipe label, which is attached to the ferrule. A special pen, which works on these labels is included. For turning cutters there is a shaft with a mounting screw and a 2,5 mm allen key.

Multi Jig
This patented jig consists of a housing and two interchangeable seats one closed, and one open, The seats can swivel and be locked with the screw at any skew angle between 0° and 45°. Skew chisels have symmetrical bevels on both sides. With this jig you mount the tool only once for grinding both the bevels. By turning the jig upside down you can grind both of the bevels symmetrically. |

Tool Rest with TORLOCK
This Tool Rest is ideal for the grinding of turning scrapers and special tools for woodcarving, e.g. large scorps and inshaves. Also for cabinet scrapers and hollowing tools.
It has a generous surface, 90×110 mm (3½"×4¼"), which permits a safe and steady positioning of the tool towards the stone.
The bore is made with a special wedge shape, which increases the locking force by 250 %. You can lock the Tool Rest instantly at the chosen angle. This unique design is patented by Tormek.

Square Edge Guide
The jig comprises an upper base with a lower clamp and two locking knobs for fixing the tool. The jig slides on the Universal Support on nylon bushings across the grindstone. The edge angle is set with the Micro Adjust on the Universal Support.
There are two safety stops to prevent the tool from slipping off the stone when grinding. One inner stop to be positioned according to the width of the tool and one outer stop mounted on the end of the Universal Support.
The jig automatically lines up the chisel to its upper, flat side so the tool always mounts correctly and grinds at 90°. Conventional jigs need manual alignment.
The lower clamp has a ridge in the centre enabling shorter tools with a tapered shank to be firmly mounted, e.g. Japanese chisels. The upper base, which lines up the tool, is designed so the clamping pressure is distributed to the ends and the tool mounts firmly without a heavy tightening of the knobs.
The jig is designed for grinding towards the edge with the Universal Support placed vertically and for honing away from the edge with the Universal Support placed horizontally.

Planer / Jointer
The attachment comprises support, blade holder and allen key. In this attachment the tool is guided precisely and ground flat along its whole length to a pre-set fixed depth. This is not the case with the other Tormek jigs, where your hand decides where the grinding occurs and the depth of grinding. It is important that the grinding angle is set with great accuracy. If you follow the detailed step by step instructions carefully, you will be satisfied with the results. |
