Tormek T-8 Ultimate Woodturners Kit Planer Blade Attachment Bundle

Description

Compliant with European industrial machinery directives for wet grinding electrical safety, the Tormek T-8 Ultimate Woodturners Bundle sharpens turning gouges and jointer planer blades without heat buildup. Driven by a continuous-duty motor, this 10in water-cooled unit handles wide knives. The wide planer blade jig requires substantial workbench clearance to slide the tool holder across the stone.

Manufactured with a solid cast zinc frame and composite side panels, this sharpener eliminates flex in the universal support sleeves. The 200W continuous-duty motor runs on 115V single-phase power drawing 1.8A, turning the precision stainless steel shaft at 90 RPM. Machine bench stance measures 11in wide by 10.5in deep, standing 12.5in tall. Net tool weight stands at 32.6 lbs, providing the mass needed to support wide planer knives without tipping.

Key Features of Tormek T-8

Millwork operations and serious woodturners buy Tormek T-8 ultimate bundles for complete tool room sharpening, while bundled pricing includes both turning and planer blade attachments. This machine sharpens bowl gouges, skews, parting tools, and jointer planer blades up to 12in length.

• A 200W continuous-duty motor turns the 10in by 2in grindstone at 90 RPM without heat.
• The zinc cast frame holds universal support sleeves rigid against heavy tool thrust.
• The SVH-320 planer blade attachment sharpens jointer and planer knives of any length.
• The TNT-808 woodturners kit contains the SVD-186 R gouge jig and SVS-50 multi-jig.
• A TTS-100 turning tool setter duplicates complex bowl gouge grinds in seconds.
• The screw-lift water trough adjusts height with a turn dial to manage water levels.
• A leather stropping wheel polishes away wire burrs to a razor-sharp mirror finish.

Shaft Runout Planer Blade Testing

Main shaft runout testing on the stainless steel arbor records less than 0.0002in TIR. When grinding a 12in high-speed steel jointer knife mounted in the SVH-320 attachment under 8 lbs of downward thrust, motor speed holds steady at 90 RPM without hesitation. Continuous water bath lubrication keeps knife edge temperatures below 72°F, preventing edge softening on expensive jointer blades. Acoustic sound levels measure 54 dB, providing a quiet sharpening environment in production wood shops.

Planer Sharpener Usability Maintenance Protocol

The SVH-320 planer jig features twin micro-adjust knobs that control blade depth down to 0.001in increments, while the turning jigs pivot on the universal support bar without binding. Do not buy this precision water-cooled sharpener for rough chop saw blade grinding, masonry cutting, or dry high-speed bench grinding tasks.

• Empty the water trough and wipe abrasive swarf from the basin after each sharpening session.
• Clean metal particles from the internal collection magnet every 10 hours of operation.
• True the stone flat using the TT-50 diamond truing cutter every 40 hours.
