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.

Tormek’s jig system on bench grinder with Wolverine Vee-arm
The OWC-1 Tormek Converter is an attachment that makes it possible to use the Tormek jig system directly on a bench grinder with a Wolverine Vee-Arm, together with the BGM-100 Bench Grinder Mounting Set.
Get a flat bevel, or convert horizontal mounts to vertical
The MB-102 Multi Base allows you to sharpen on the side of Tormek’s diamond grinding wheels. This results in a completely flat bevel, which is preferable in certain applications. The MB-102 Multi Base is fully adjustable for optimal settings for each tool and jig. It also converts the horizontal mounts to vertical, for easier access when sharpening knives edge trailing, and for guided honing using knife jigs (so-called Frontal Vertical Base or FVB).
Set the exact sharpening angle for any type of knife
With the KS-123 Knife Angle Setter you set the exact sharpening angle for virtually any knife. In three easy steps, this patented and sophisticated solution lets you set the precise angle even on knives with tapered blades. It is self-adjusting for the diameter of the grinding wheel, and fits all Tormek machines with a universal support. The calculations to get the right angle is based on exact geometric measurements, so this analog angle setter is always correct. Setting the sharpening angle on your knife has never been easier and more precise!
Everything about the Tormek method
The HB-10 Tormek Handbook is included with every water-cooled sharpening system. It provides basic information on sharpening and different techniques, as well as user instructions and valuable tips for each jig and how to sharpen specific tools.
