A dressing tool is required to dress the Aluminium Oxide grinding wheels when it becomes uneven from sharpening and to remove the metal particles from the wheel as a result from sharpening.

Regular dressing of the grinding wheel will ensure efficient sharpening of your turning tools.

The Tormek models T-4 and T-8 prove that simplicity and precision can be perfectly integrated in a powerful, versatile system. These models are the foundation of the Tormek Water Cooled Sharpening System and are compatible with our range of jigs and accessories. The larger model, Tormek T-8, has a 250 mm (10”) grindstone while the compact Tormek T-4 has a 200 mm (8”) grindstone. The more powerful motor on the T-8 will enable you to remove steel and reshape edges more quickly than the T-4. Both models come with The Tormek Original Grindstone, which is especially developed to offer the best combination of effective grinding, smooth surface finish and a long stone life.

These versatile machines are the ultimate for sharpening a variety of tools, such as knives, scissors, chisels, planer blades, drills bits, gouges and woodturning tools. The grindstone rotates slowly throughout the sharpening, which makes the machine safe to use and eliminates the risk of overheating the steel.
