The Tormek Supergrind Wheel SG-250 is a hallmark of evolution and innovation in grindstone technology. In Woodsmith's opinion, we see this as as the "best all-round grindstone," it has been designed to achieve efficient steel removal across a broad spectrum of materials, from carbon steel to high-speed steel. Its versatility doesn't stop there; it's compatible with an array of tools, ranging from standard implements to high-speed steel (HSS) tools. Standard on the Tormek T-8, this grindstone stands out not just for its efficiency but also for its ability to deliver a fine finish.
Specifications/Details:
- Unique Dual Action: Unlike traditional grinding wheels, the Tormek grindstone comes with a dual-action feature. With the assistance of the Tormek Stone Grader SP-650, users can transform the surface from its regular 220 grit to a finer 1000 grit finish. This ensures that the fine sharpening is done without adjusting the jig setting from the initial tool shaping phase.
- Material Compatibility: Designed to work efficiently on various materials including carbon steel and high-speed steel.
- Optional Grindstones: For unique requirements, Tormek also offers specialided grindstones such as the Blackstone Silicon and Japanese Waterstone.
- Compatibility: Specifically tailored to fit Tormek T-8, Tormek T-7, and prior Tormek models with a stone diameter of 250 mm.
