The key word when sharpening the Tormek way is
repeatability. The tools are guided in jigs – you remove
only a minute fraction of the steel at each sharpening,
which makes it fast. An extra bene t is that your tools
last longer.
You can shape the tool exactly to your needs. Even such
complicated shapes as ngernail turning gouges, spoon
carving gouges and oval skew chisels with a radiused
edge are easily sharpened. Once the shape is created,
you can resharpen the edge in less than a minute.
The water cooled slow speed grindstone is in harmony
with the physical laws governing the steel tool – the
edge does not overheat and lose its hardness.
You nish the sharpening process on the leather honing
wheel, which lets you polish the edge to a razor sharpness.
No grinding dust is produced to pollute the air. The steel
particles are deposited into the water trough.
The Tormek method is safe. At the low speed, you can
fully control the sharpening. Since no sparks are pro-
duced, there is no risk to your eyes and you can safely
use the machine in areas of high re risk.
Since 1973 Tormek has introduced many new techniques
and set the standard in water cooled sharpening. We are
dedicated to sharpening and we are continuously work-
ing on new developments to satisfy all your sharpening
needs.
Buying a Tormek is a safe investment in quality and per-
formance. You are assured that all future developments
will t your machine.

Go vertical for the best results. Price often indicates quality, and
we certainly found that to be true in wet sharpeners. Tormek’s
heavy-duty T-7 proved impossible to stall, no matter how hard
we pressed on the tool during sharpening; none of the lower-
priced units even came close. Its tool-holding system (tool
rest and holders) fit together like hand in glove and gave us
dead-on bevels and square ends with little fuss. And the stone
wore much slower than less-expensive models we tried. If you
sharpen hand tools or knives at least once a week, the versatile
T-7 is the sharpener for your shop.
Dave Campbell with John Olson
WOOD Magazine, USA
As a woodworker and woodcarver for 20 years, I’ve been
plagued by multiple bevels on my tools, cutting angles that
were too short or too long. Recently, however, I discovered
Tormek and it’s a dream come true – a machine that sharpens
and hones with the precision of a surgical team.
Roger Schroeder
Wood Carving Illustrated, USA
I have yet to find anything that cannot be sharpened on the
Tormek. The honed edge is incredibly fine, and coupled to this
dramatic improvement in edge quality is the not insignificant
fact that the tools will last far longer, as the sharpening process
is so much less aggressive. I am now a total convert to the wet
grinding system. It really is Touch and Turn, but you touch far
less often and turn far more!
Alan Holtham
The Woodworker, UK
The Tormek TNT-708 Woodturner’s Kit is a superbly made,
comprehensive kit and does speed up the sharpening process.
It is, along with the rest of the Tormek product range, incredibly
well made. I have got the process for sharpening a fingernail
profile gouge down to under a minute so one can no longer say
it is a slow process.
Look at the TTS-100 gouge again (or your own) and compare
the cutting edge to that of a dry bench-ground one. It will
produce a better finish off the tool and I do think the edge lasts
longer as a result. It is well worth the money and as most of us
work in other wood disciplines other than turning, the Tormek
system becomes more and more attractive!

profile gouge down to under a minute so one can no longer say
it is a slow process.
Look at the TTS-100 gouge again (or your own) and compare
the cutting edge to that of a dry bench-ground one. It will
produce a better finish off the tool and I do think the edge lasts
longer as a result. It is well worth the money and as most of us
work in other wood disciplines other than turning, the Tormek
system becomes more and more attractive!
