The Tormek T-4 Original is a compact quality machine that's perfect for home and hobby use, or professionals with limited space. Knives, scissors, lawnmower blades and chisels. Most edge tools you can think of can be made sharper than when they were new with Tormek's comprehensive jig system. The universal support provides precise repeatability, and you achieve razor sharpness with the leather honing wheel.
Why the Tormek T-4 Original?
The machine plate is now made of metal, which makes it a convenient place to store the Tormek AngleMaster (which has magnetic feet).
Vital parts like the motor and the main shaft are integrated with the zinc cast top.
Delivered with the Stone Grader SP650, AngleMaster WM200, Honing Compound, DVD and the comprehensive Tormek Handbook on sharpening. Configure the T4 with your choice of jigs, according to the tools that you are choosing to sharpen. The jigs are sold separately.
The handle makes the machine easy to move and position - so you are not tempted to make the mistake of trying to lift the machine with the Universal Support.
The Tormek T-4 Original comes with:
Complement your Tormek T-4 Original with a selection of jigs for the tools you'll be sharpening (sold separately).
With the wide range of Tormek patented jigs, you can sharpen practically all types of edge tools. Tormek is dedicated to developing water cooled sharpening through innovative solutions.
The key word when sharpening the Tormek way is repeatability. You can shape the tool exactly to your needs. Even complicated shapes such as fingernail turning gouges, spoon carving gouges and oval skew chisels with a radiused edge are easily sharpened.
You finish the sharpening process by honing and polishing the edge on the leather honing wheel. You get a razor sharp edge.
Once the shape is created, you remove only a fraction of the steel when re-sharpening, which makes it a quick job.
At the low speed, you have full control of the sharpening and remove no more steel than necessary. An extra benefit is that your tools last longer.
There is no risk that the edge becomes overheated and loses its hardness.
Worn steel particles are deposited into the water trough, keeping the air clear of grinding dust. No sparks are produced, avoiding a potential fire hazard in workshops with a lot of wood dust. You will also find that the Tormek runs surprisingly quietly.
Buying a Tormek is a safe investment in quality and performance with a 7 year warranty. You are assured that all future developments will fit your machine.
*When used for commercial, industrial or educational purpose, the T4 warranty is 2 years.
