Tormek Sharpening System

Recommended Posts

For Sale - Lightly Used and in Great Shape - Tormek 2000 Wet Grinder.

This is the ultimate wet grinder for blades of all types. This is also posted on Craigslist.

This is the heavy #30+ machine. Its new eplacement goes for around $700 for the machine alone and jigs and fixtures push it up from there.

Was purchased new from Highland Hardware when I thought I would be doing a lot of turning. "Turns out" I never did. It has been sitting in a climate controlled shop seeing almost no use aside from some initial "playing" around when first purchased. Package includes (not sure of the names) a carbide truing tool, tool rest, gouge jig, flat tool jig, blade jig, truing stone and book. Stone is in great shape and trued maybe 2 or three times at the most. Asking $325 OBO + shipping. I will have to get a quote on that since this is fairly heavy. I will accept PayPal. I can send pictures. There is some tiny white paint overspray marks here and there and only mentioning it for full disclosure.

Thanks for looking.

Mike

What grit is the stone?

Free Plug for this sale. I don't know the seller, but I do know the tormek system. It is top notch and I use mine all the time for woodworking tools, kitchen knives, hunting knives and some of my leatherworking tools. Most of the leatherworking tools need to be at super-sharp levels, so I don't use the tormek for them *that* much. However, I do use the leather strop side of the tormek for my round knife and belt punches.

Hopefully I am not stepping on Mike's toes here, but the standard tormek grindstone is 220 grit, but can be.....'switched' to a 1000 grit stone using the stone grader. I plan on buying the 4000 grit stone for my tormek -- that will make the transition to stropping with alum oxide or rouge much faster.

This is a great price considering he is accepting paypal (and the huge credit card fees).
