Tormek Grindstones
The Tormek grindstones are well known for grinding efficiency and extended stone life - if you take good care of your stone, you can expect to use it for many years to come. We currently offer three different types of grindstones, all optimized with the special qualities required for different applications.
The water-cooled sharpening systems Tormek T-8 and Tormek T-4 are supplied with the Tormek Original Grindstone. These give you an efficient steel removal and smooth surface finish from the same stone because the surface can be changed from 220 Grit to the equivalent of 1000 Grit which leaves a finer surface and sharper edge. If you want an even finer surface, we recommend the Tormek Japanese Waterstone which comes with a 4000 Grit and delivers a mirror finish with a razor-sharp edge.
If you need faster material removal, you should consider the Tormek Blackstone Silicon which has been developed with the special qualities required to more quickly sharpen HSS and other exotic alloyed steels.
Common to all our grindstones is that they are designed to give your tool a sharp and durable edge with your preferred surface finish. For more information about the individual stone qualities and machine compatibility, please see their product page.Which grinding wheel should I choose?
