Great to see a manufacturer innovating and improving their product🙂
Since I discovered the asymmetrical apex from the old rig, I’ve been using my whetstone for a few years now. This might be one more chance to bring out my t4. Hope it’ll be worth it!
Hello.. please please please I have told you many times I need lessons in Arabic language I'm talking from Lebanon.my brother send to me tormek T8 from UK but I can't understand everything.thank you
Hej user-qi9zw2ot4d,at the moment we have no possibilitiesto have lessons in Arabic, but UA-cam has a automatic translation function. This may help you.
Very good class I would love to see more !
Hej user-dh8ne7mg1s, we have a vast of different Live Sharpening -Classes here on our channel, we will make more on a ongoing sheme
Ezylock and the proprietary Tormek shaft oval locking system make heavy commercial use a breeze. I’d go insane if I had to get out spanners and Allen keys every time I had to adjust the rest height or change a wheel. Your tightening systems have made me a lot of money over the years by increasing my productivity by an incredible amount.
Hej iSharpen, thanks for the feedback, yes the simple rock solid solutions make life easier.
The "every 2 minutes" is a great tip. A high quality hard steel knife will smooth the wheel all by itself and you'll be there for ages. Get those bevels ground as fast as possible. Then refine. Another tip is to use diamond sharpening plates to achieve the same effect. I use an 80 grit diamond plate to achieve the same grade of roughness as the rough side of the SP-650.
Hej iSharpen, yes, that works fine too. The frequent refreshing speeds up the process immense.
This has simplified angle setting no end! Thank you
Hej thomask837, yes, absolutly, saves a lot of time and no hustle with measurements and calculating.
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
🎉
Hej adnankandemir7847, discover the possibilities ;-)
Nice job
Thank you! Cheers!
Man , that Olaf is one annoying bellend , please tell him to shut his piehole and let baldy do the presentation 🙄🙄👎👎👎
Do you have any tips about even bevels? One side has a larger bevel than the other.
Hej davec9371, mostly, the shorter was sharpened to little. Just use more passes on the shorter side. Check also the thickness of your blade when using the older SVM-45 or SVM-140, When sharpening quite thick blades you may adjust the angel for the other side. When using the KJ-45 and KJ-140 the blade is self centred.
Maybe I can get a tip here: I have the knife holder (the small one), and am sharpening 25-30cm kitchen knives in a T8. When I slide the knife left/right on the stone, then *sometimes the knife tilts, and with that I sharpen on the edge of the stone and immediately have a nick in the middle of my blade somewhere.* Sure this must be user error, I must hold the knife wrong somehow...?
Hej yxcvmk, when you round off the edges with the Stonegrader SP-650 the risk is minimised. Another tip is to hold the knife not cramped, just comfortable and lose, to have better the contact feeling and the feedback. Last but not least hold the blade straight and don't go to deep.
Does this prevent uneven bevels?
Hej davec9371, this is just to set the angel correct in a very easy matter. Uneven bevels results in the process of sharpening and can have different reasons. You'll find a lot of tips and tricks in our Live Sharpening Classes, especially those when we talk about knives.
Will this work for the frontal vertical base too?
Hej bigd3105, absolute also on the honing wheel if you want to hone in a controlled angel.
Apakah produk sudah masuk indonesia
Hej antonechanel, please get in contact with support@tormek.se
where can we get one?
Hej genem5103, please check our home page for retailers in your area.
If you are sharpening on the standard stone and set you protrusion distance on that stone. And then you change to a japanese stone with a different diameter do you adjust the protrusion distance to the japanese stone. I would be of the opinion that the angle would of course change and it requires adjustment.
Hej Colt3854, You need only to click the KS-123 onto the JS Waterstone and adjust the height of the Universal-Ssupport to the desired angel. When you have ground a lot of material from the blade you have the do the complete adjustment, even the step 2 - the setting of the protrusion.
Is there any plan to incorporate the KS-123 and MB-102 into the HTK806 kit? and also can the KS-123 be used with the SVM-00 when using with a pocket knife (Swiss Army Knife) as the angle needed to be set for each side due to offset blade.
Hej DanianSlade, there are some different plans. Regarding the Swiss Army knife, you have to set both sides individually due the offset blade. Personally i adjust no specific angel due the fact the bade is all the way tapered and I don't like to have a wide bevel on that blade, it is otherwise so delicate. I aim optically for a 1/4 mm bevel on both sides. The steel is very mild to and i use 1000 grid or less, depending of the condition of the blade.
@@TormekSharpening Thanks for the response, I try to avoid doing by eye as I am hopeless
So glad for this. Japanese stone was larger and I quit using it. Lazy. I know. Switching wheels is going to be so easy now.!!! Thanks Tormek!!!
Hej darrenleighty7574, thanks for the positive feedback!
I am looking for a sharpener for whittling knives which one should I get ?
Hej Kianquenseda, you would need a T-4 or T-8. The T-1 or T-2 is just for kitchenknives.

Can that jig work on a flat surface say on a belt sander laying down? Using the tormek support bar also.
Hej Robertmunguia250, no it is constructed to work on round discs.
If the Tormek could be reversed like just about every other copy on the market it wouldn’t need to be turned around to strop and there would be no need for the additional bracket.
When you would use a reversed motor, you would loos much more vital function which the copies not have, with the MB-102 you can sharpen edge trailing and with the RB-180 you can rotate the machine easily. At the end even cheaper as you would have otherwise with a reverse motor and keeping the other advantages. Sorry that it is not that easy just to switch to the opposite rotation.
@@TormekSharpening What are the “vital functions” that the copies don’t have? I strop using the knife support so just switch to the strop side so there is no need to constantly keep turning the machine around.
I can't find it anywhere in Denmark yet😢
Hej TrainTo Tent, they will come ;-) we got overwhelmed by orders,
@@TormekSharpening I am eagerly waiting for it 🥹
Why does the SVS-50 jig in this video differ so much from the diecast POS that Tormek sells? The unit in the video looks finely made with clear angle markings, but it's not at all what the actual jig looks like. I wish I could post a picture of the jig they sell to highlight the deception in this video. As for performance, what CC-gv6us said regarding the actual performance of this jig is right on the mark.
Hej Scientist1967 The one in this film is the old one. the new one is much more precise and has some modified functions compared to that in the film. These films will be updated in the future.
Try sharpening a 13 inch Bowie knife on that machine.
Hej ricisuave7102, that works
My Tormek was £189 in 2004. This attachment jig is around £240 when I checked. Would love to own one though.
Hej portwest400, yes the conversion rate and inflation has changed from then...
Recently received this new jig here in Canada. Great product delivery distribution from Tormek to Suppliers. The manual is very concise and simple to follow. I then re-watched this video which made the procedure even more simplistic. Basically, 1. Set the protusion; 2. Set the angle. Done. You are ready to sharpen. The sharpened apex is "bang on" the selected angle setting. Thank you Tormek for a truly wonderful jig!
Hej swingbelly, thank you for the positive feedback, yeah it's so easy, faster and precise than every other method.
🥰
;-)
Great demo guys, Tormek is the ultimate in sharpening and I use mine often, my question is ; should the diamond wheel be used to sharpen cobalt or carbide items such as drill bits with Tormek jigs ? Thank You
Hej woodturnermark8529 yes you can, but use little pressure especially when you sharpen drill bits to the steep angel which is very aggressive to the surface.
Glenn, can you get the same effect by reshaping or rough grinding the tool on a CBN when before final sharpening on the Tormek ? I have only resharpened on a CBN or white wheel ,and have had good results, I have never fine sharpened or honed as you are demonstrating.
Hej woodturnermark8529, try it, you will feel and see the difference
i'm on my second tormek since about 1990 , the 1st one used my drill as a motor.... the sideways pressure on the drill shaft was not too healthy in the long run [cheap drill?] - wonderful tool! this is an excellent jig. the system will for sure outlast me - use it very seldom now as stylist scissors call for whetstones.
Hej gabrielsmit7733, thanks for your feedback. Yeah Tormek is made to last.
I love the part when you theoretize about tools that doesn't exist or you don't know about. How would you sharpen Tantò knive? Which jigs to use?
hej Tomshon9909, You can sharpen a Tanto knife with the KJ-45. you need to clamp it near the tip and parallel as possible to the edge (msoly only a part will be clamped on the jig), then you can sharp the Tanto tip and then you sharp as usual the blade itself.
bonjour quand la video en francais
Hej jftrotard, it's out already
@@TormekSharpening ?
Bonjour à tous, quel serait selon vous le meilleur coupe pierre/composite pour des couteaux japonais à haute teneur en carbone?
Hej dominiquebossis797, you can use the SB Blackstone or diamond wheels.
I thought the days of "Furby" and Tickle Me Elmo" at Christmas were over! You have a new product that you know people that have spent THOUSANDS on your machines and accessories will want, and yet only a few get released? Great way to support your customers!
Hej tommy9789, thank you for the feedback, yes we where totally caught by the overwhelming demand, we work full throttle to meet the demand ;-)
Thanks for being back Sebastinan. I like your way of explaining things.
You may not see this comment, but I would like to say you guys & gales in engraining are genuese pure & simple
Hej jackdorsey4850, thank you for your feedback, sure our people see the comments! That's pure motivation for us all.
Just orderd my KS 123😊
What is the center to center spacing on your Wheel Storage Hooks? I am building a custom workbench for my Tormek and would like to have wheel storage like the back of your bench. It looks like some Locboard I have used in the past, which has a hole grid of 1.5 inches center to center. I'm just a little shy of ordering ten of them without knowing they will fit. Keep up the great innovation! Love my new KS-123!
Hej @Sharpaholic-1 can you sent me an email to support@tormek.se to Wolfgang, to my hands, I'll will measure them for you. Thank you for your feedback regarding the KS-123, a awesome piece that makes things so fast and easy.
Which country sir
Hej ganeshgani7233, it is sold world over. see our retailers near you on our homepage.
Very good, now we can get rid of our home made stuff!
When I use the KJ-45, the angle of the WM-200 has to be set for instance to 20 degrees. So both of the bevels are 10 degrees. Is this the same with the KS-123?
No, it's degrees per side.
Hej MetalMorris, it's always the true angel you want on both sides, together they give you the total angel, choosing 10 degrees (adjusted to) you get a total angel of 20 degrees - valid for WM-200 and KS-123. When using the WM-200 and you can measure on the actual bevel (when it's so wide that you can set the black moveable part on the bevel) you set to the full total angel of 20 degrees. See also the handbook. When using the KS-123 you use always the halve angel of the desired total angel.
When setting the protrusion does it matter if you set the distance from the stop to the bevel on the flat part of the knife or where the blade starts to taper towards the point?
Hej ianweatherley2467, when setting the protrusion, place the edge into the v-shaped part of the KS-123 and press forward until the jig's flat part is against the Universal-support, lock the KS-123 with the screw on the side, then adjust the height to the desired angel.
This is not a nessary tool but it is very useful. Thanks guys for always making things better. My question is when will yall make a better diamond stone? There are better ways to suspend the the diamonds now that won't rust. I'd rather pay a little more for a stone up front than keep buying antirust juice Just wanted to say yall are awesome! I have a SG2000 it'd upgraded and the only thing I can't do is lift Ms water trough with a twist of a knob. I'm sorry if I sounded displeased. I am nothing but impressed and super happy with everything yall make
Thank you! We're happy you think this new accessory can be useful 😊 We are always looking to improve and develop our products further to fit the demand of our users, so we appreciate your thoughts! Our diamond wheels have a stainless steel core but when steel particles from the tool being sharpened build up they will eventually corrode. That's why we recommend using the ACC-150 Anti-Corrosion Concentrate to prevent the wheels from getting affected by said particles. If you get the KS-123 Knife Angle Setter we'd be happy to hear what you think! Stay sharp!
Would this have any benefit for serrated knives?
Hej Roger-jk3dq As you sharp them in a very steep angel on the outside of stone and hone it in the arches it is not of a help. When sharpening on a specialised wheel for the serrated knives it may show a bit of difference, due the tops and the deeper points of the wheel, as you can only measure on the tops.
Thank you so much !!!
Hi guys, good to see you again. This looks like a great tool for setting and I can't wait for it to be available here in the UK and I can add it to my jig collection. Well done on another world first innovation. Regards Paul.
Thank you very much, Paul! Hope you've had the chance to get the KS-123 Knife Angle Setter already. Let us know what you think of it! Stay sharp!
