Rotate your Tormek with ease
You can use the RB-180 Rotating Base to easily rotate your machine 180° and then lock it in place. This allows you to alternate between sharpening and honing, or alternate between sharpening edge trailing and edge leading in just a few seconds. With no effort.
Μου αρέσει να μαγειρεύω, να ψήνω και να κόβω. Έχω χρησιμοποιήσει πολλά ακονιστήρια αλλά αποφάσισα να κάνω ένα δώρο στον εαυτό μου που θα μου κρατήσει για μια ζωή. Αυτό το ακονιστήρι είναι πανεύκολο στη χρήση. Χρειάζονται μόνο μερικές δοκιμές για να το συνηθίσεις. Λατρεύω το γεγονός ότι δεν χρειάζεται να ξοδεύω χρόνο για κοφτερά μαχαίρια. Δεν είμαι μόνο εγώ ενθουσιασμένος, και οι φίλοι μου το λατρεύουν. Και φυσικά η 8ετής εγγύηση δείχνει πόσο σίγουρη είναι η Tormek για το προϊόν της.
Μην φοβηθείτε να επενδύσετε σε αυτό το ακονιστήρι. Έχω ξοδέψει πολλά χρήματα στο παρελθόν σε διάφορα άλλα, αλλά κανένα δεν κράτησε. Αυτό είναι μακράν το καλύτερο ακονιστήρι που θα μπορούσε να έχει ένα εστιατόριο. Είναι πανεύκολο στη χρήση, πολύ γρήγορο, και προσέξτε γιατί κάνει τα μαχαίρια πολύ κοφτερά!
Some tools are best sharpened when the stone is rotating into the edge. Other tools are best sharpened with the stone rotating away from the edge. With Tormek’s rotating base, you can easily rotate your machine 180° and adapt the direction of rotation to your needs.
The rotating base also makes it easy to switch between sharpening and honing. Always hone with the honing wheel rotating away from the edge (edge trailing), otherwise there’s a risk of the tool cutting into the honing wheel and damaging it.
We’ve been very careful to make the RB-180 Rotating Base as thin as possible so it doesn’t raise the machine and change the sharpening position. You can easily rotate your Tormek without heavy lifting or spilling water. All for the best sharpening experience.
The plastics in the RB-180 Rotating Base are optimized to provide low friction and high stability. What’s more, the rotating base rests on rubber feet that absorb any vibrations and keep it steady while you sharpen your tools.
The RB-180 Rotating Base fits the Tormek T-8, Tormek T-4, Tormek T-7, and Tormek T-3, as well as models 2000, 1200, SA-250, and N-1500.

Use Tormek jigs for your bench grinder
The BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set allows you to use Tormek’s woodturning tool jigs on your bench grinder. This is an advantage if you need to remove a lot of steel on a new tool to create your desired shape. However, be careful not to overheat the steel, as the tool may lose its temper.
For smart water management
The TF-2 Tilt Feet incline your Tormek T-8 for improved water management. They also secure the main shaft during transportation while allowing you to use the machine without the grindstone. Comes with Tormek T-8 manufactured April 2025 or later and can be purchased at your local Tormek retailer. And the best part? You can get them for free by printing your own at home with a 3D printer.
Change the grit size on your grindstone
The SP-650 Stone Grader allows you to adjust the sharpening characteristics of your Original Grindstone or Blackstone Silicon. These grindstones have adjustable sharpening characteristics equivalent to between 220 and 1000 grit. The fine side of the stone grader provides finer sharpening characteristics, while the coarse side is used to maintain the grindstone and reactivate the grit for more effective and coarser sharpening.
Keeps your grindstone round and flat
If your grindstone has worn and become uneven, this can be easily fixed with the TT-50 Truing Tool. It makes your stone round and flat again, with maximum precision. The tool’s diamond tip removes the very top layer of the grindstone at the points where there’s too much material. The TT-50 Truing Tool fits all Tormek machines with a universal support, and works on all grinding wheels except for the diamond grinding wheels.
