My T8 Tormek Sharpening System with Diamond Wheels
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 сен 2022
- A walkthrough of my Tormek T8 machine - how does it work? What are the jigs like? AND using their new diamond stone wheels... They make things sharp! In this session I'm doing chisels, knives and gouges.
Thanks Tormek for collaborating with me! Check out their stuff:

Actually, the torque is high and the speed is low. They use a pretty sizable reduction ratio on the drive based on the pictures but I do not know the exact ratio.
I got me the T-8 black edition. I have saved so much time and my tools are sharper than ever!
Cool ! My Tormek should arrive sometime after the first of the year! So it's nice to see you working with the machine. Nice video! Thank you for sharing ! ))) Happy New Years!
Hi Linn, Another great video. Just a thought on the magnetic swarf collector on the T8, I have the T4 and simply place an iron washer in the the tray and attach a rare earth magnet on the other side. When you are finished just lift off the magnet and then you can scrape off the swarf as per your demo. Clean the washer and set it up for the next sharpening session. Yes, the washer will rust with time but just replace it, the magnet will always be clean. Having clean, sharp tools ready for the next project is a great feeling.
Linn I love your demonstrations
I do hope that you get some thing for doing this!
I have two T8's and have only used the three diamond stones for several years. I use a 1x30 with a 120 grit cubitron belt to prep the blade for the Tormeks. blade. great vid.
Good demo, Linn, thank you.
Thanks Bill!
Thankyou very very much. I did enjoy it
Your a joy to watch thanks
I'm sold! 😁👍
What is really nice about the diamond wheel is that you don't need to periodically re-flatten the face. For my turning tools, I also have the concave.convex leather wheel on the honing side. The machine I have is a 2000, and I believe it was purchased around 1995. I am jealous of your model having a knob to raise and lower the water trough. Mine has tabs that you need to manually fit into slots to have the stone sit in the water. Can be quite a mess.
That's a great point!
dear, do u know what types of sharpening does vectornix brand used?
and what is the best specification for diamoned wheel that best for deboning knives?
Oh yeah, that first cut of the notebook paper with the big chisel. That thing is ready for service. You could square up a recessed hinge with the lightest preassure. 👍
Always such a satisfying thing :)
No shaving the hairs off the back of her hand for this girl!
So, you are surfacing with the grinding wheel going toward the tool edge you wish to sharpen?.
dear Darbin Orver, first of all, thank you for the video, it's very good, I want to ask for some help, unfortunately I forgot to put the acc150 liquid in the water for the DF 250 diamond wheel fine diamond stone when I first used it, and now I see that the diamond wheel is streaked a little tanned, whatmake it disappear?my first plane and I were very stupid and now I'm worried about what will happen
Thank you very much in advance for your help
do you know if you can use some liquid other than water? something that won' t freeze in a unheated garage in the cold Midwest?
Just add some antifreeze…
How much this mashin
I would like to buy one please
Hej,
Ledsen att jag skriver på svenska, men det blev lite mycket och jag är inte lika bra på engelska som du ;-)
Hittade precis din kanal då den här videon dök upp på startsidan. Så nu har du en ny prenumerant och jag har massor av dina klipp att titta ikapp.
Supervideo, men kommer med ett par tips som kanske kan hjälpa dig att få ännu bättre resultat.
Nu kanske du har läst på lite mer om diamantskivorna, men det är ju det som är det fina med dom, att du KAN använda sidan för att få en rak slipfas. Köp till en MB-100 så kan du använda jiggarna från sidan.
En annan sak som är lite som Mark skrev, ta INTE bort råeggen med slipskivan, inte på nå'n slipning. Det ska du göra på brynskivan. Och för skölpen, fixa en LA-120 för bryna bort råeggen på dom konkava eggarna.
Ang. skölpjiggen kanske du även läst på om den. Du använde den lite tokigt i videon, du fick jiggrotationen åt fel håll. Du bör få en betydligt bättre egg om du har den "horisontellt" eller hur jag ska förklara det. Se ruclips.net/video/v7V4bjePKkM/видео.html. Tormek har massor av andra bra klipp att titta på också.
Ha det gött!

Hello. I have a question. Do you think this tormek t8 with accessories good for small business for knife sharpening?
Hi, I think the t8 would be an excellent choice for a small knife sharpening business. Good luck!
Never put the back of your chisel on a grinder. It will essentially put a back bevel on it. The idea for a well functioning chisel is to keep the back perfectly flat. Preparing a new chisel is to first flatten the back and keep it that way. A back bevel on a plane blade is useful and makes sharpening easier as you don't have to flatten a large portion of the back of the blade. Paring with a chisel with a back bevel reduces the level of control as it requires you to lift the handle to get it engage the cut.
I made this mistake once. It also makes chopping perpendicularly (i.e. a mortise) almost impossible.
Absolutely, the back of the chisel is to be flat and this is the difference between good chisels and cheap one. On expensive chisels the back has be ground slightly hollow in the middle so when you hone it on a flat stone the edges are flat. You can see this clearly in Japanese chisels. I do hope you haven’t spoiled that chisel as it looked like a nice one. Nice video and fantastic to a young lady so into woodworking. As a professional woodworker for over 40 years we don’t see enough women in the industry or as hobbyists. And you’re English is excellent

As a native English speaker, please accept my apologies for the spelling of trough. It is pronounced "troff" not "trow". Even though we don't pronounce though, plough, borough or enough similarly.
I find it interesting that Tormek sells their very expensive rust inhibitor - but Nickel does NOT rust. Hmmm.
I like the bees wax idea very much. I'm in Southern NC and our humidity is even worse. Did you finish those tools with the 1200 stone and then buff out the burr or does it work ok to use 600 and the buffing wheel?
It‘s not the nickel, it‘s the iron particles from sharpening your stuff which could rust on the wheel.
@@thomasliebreich3510 I've used diamond plates (embedded in nickel plates for over a decade and have used both water and Windex on them. A lot of woodworkers use windex. No rust at all, as the swarf can not become embedded.

Which one is more suitable, diamond wheels or CBN wheels？Different people have different understanding, different companies also have different understanding.
What I suggest is CBN wheel.
Today I would like to express why.
As the CBN wheels suppliers for the knife sharpening industry, we must give the right opinion. Most people think that the diamond is much more harder than CBN, so the diamond is better than CBN, this opinion is not right indeed. Based on common knowledge of physics, everyone knows the diamond is just the “C” element, the knife is of steel. For the steel, the basic element is”Fe”, when diamond grinds the steel, “C” +”Fe” will occur chemical reaction. The products of chemical reactions will cover the surface of diamonds, and block the diamond and knife. With time goes on, this phenomenon is increasing obviouly until the diamond lose the sharpness absolutely, that is, when you start using diamond wheel to grind the steel knife, of course it can work, but as times goes on, the sharpness is worse and worse. Based on our experience, after sharpening 30-50 pieces of knives, the sharpness will come down tremendously. No more than 100 pieces of knives, the diamond wheels lose the sharpness absolutely. Then the life of diamond wheels end. Though the diamond wheels’ life ends, but the diamond grain will not be worn, just the products of chemical reactions will cover the surface of diamonds blocking the grinding part totally. This is why diamond wheels can’t be used for knife sharpening. The conclusion has no connection with the grinder speed, no matter is 100RPM or 3000RPM.
CBN and Fe will not creat chemical reaction, so there is no such block problem happens while sharpening using CBN wheels. CBN wheel is sharp during the whole sharpeing process.
That is why I recommend CBN wheel for knife sharpening.
Can are usually cheaper than diamond too…
