The Tormek US-430 Extended Universal Support is designed for anyone sharpening particularly long or tall tools. Sometimes your regular universal support just isn’t enough, either in length or in height. You might be sharpening a tall meat cleaver or a long knife, for example.
The SE-77 Square Edge Jig stop function, that prevents the tool slipping off the grinding wheel, doesn’t work with the US-430 Extended Universal Support as it is too long for that.
The US-430 Extended Universal Support fits the Tormek T-8, Tormek T-7, Tormek T-4, Tormek T-3 and older models. The universal support is 436 mm (17 1/8″) long and 212 mm (8 3/8″) high. You can position it vertically for sharpening into the edge (edge leading), horizontally for sharpening away from the edge (edge trailing), or horizontally for honing with jigs.
The side extension covers the honing wheel, so you don’t need to remove the bar and flip it for honing. The legs are over 50mm longer than the standard US-105 Universal Support, making it possible to raise the bar sufficient to accommodate wide cleavers using the standard SVM-45 knife jig. Like the standard universal support bars, one leg features a screw thread offering micro-adjustment with a scale for precise setting of the edge angle.
Fits Tormek T-8/T-7/T-4/T-3 and older Tormek models.
