The Tormek T-8 Custom has all the features and quality of the standard T-8, but without any wheels or jigs. This lets you purchase only the jigs and wheels that you need in your work, resulting in a sharpening machine that's customized for you. The T-8 features a fully cast housing for rigidity and minimal play on the universal support. Its large water trough features a geared lift mechanism that raises and lowers the water trough with minimal splashing. At the bottom of the trough, a removable magnetic scraper lets you easily clean the trough, and most of the metal filings will already be gathered by the magnet. Thanks to water cooling and a slow running speed, you get excellent control over the edge, without ruining the temper. There are no sparks, and thanks to the quiet, vibration-free motor, sharpening becomes a pleasant task.
Features:
Fully cast housing improves rigidity and reduces vibration for greater accuracy
Geared lift on water trough lets you raise the trough tightly up to wheel with the turn of a dial
