You may not see this comment, but I would like to say you guys & gales in engraining are genuese pure & simple

[@TormekSharpening]

Hej jackdorsey4850, thank you for your feedback, sure our people see the comments! That's pure motivation for us all.

[@michaelwilliams4086]

With that new jig, it might be an opportunity to fit a larger honing wheel, to match the diameter of the grinding wheel?

[@TormekSharpening]

It is nothing we have planned, but sure, one could do so, with risk of bumping in to the other wheel on longer knives depending on geometry of the blade.

[@lyonsharpeningservice2896]

Excellent! Another great video and solution. Looking forward to getting the MB-102.

[@TormekSharpening]

Thank you, happy to hear!

[@MrOrlydeleon]

Learned so much on your site. You finally helped me solve the issue of the locking screw on the jig hitting the post because of the angle. Problem solved! Thanks

[@TormekSharpening]

Happy to hear, thank you for your kind words :) we constantly try to improve. Stay sharp! 😊

[@Musicpins]

Very nice wolfgang! Nice demonstration, I really like my MB100 for those niche sharpening jobs, I use some very nice wooden skewed rebate planes (I believe Veritas makes a modern version), they have a spear pointed "precutter" that will sever the grain before the angled plane iron comes in. Using the same method you show at 32:00 with the V chisel, I can get a perfectly sharp pointy tip. After watching this video, I might just try and round it ever so slightly, could be doing a better wood slicing action 😉

[@TormekSharpening]

Happy to hear you liked the video! I think you should try it out! /Hugo from Tormek

[@KarmonBjella]

Probably not appropriate on this video but some time I’d like to see how to use the small knife jig. I have trouble getting the knife in straight.

[@TormekSharpening]

Hej Karmon, here the filclip for your issue .kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2q2XomcmceFZrM Best to use a flat surface and the ricasso, the flat part of the blade as reverence. //Wolfgang

[@Tomshon9909]

I love the part when you theoretize about tools that doesn't exist or you don't know about. How would you sharpen Tantò knive? Which jigs to use?

[@TormekSharpening]

hej Tomshon9909, You can sharpen a Tanto knife with the KJ-45. you need to clamp it near the tip and parallel as possible to the edge (msoly only a part will be clamped on the jig), then you can sharp the Tanto tip and then you sharp as usual the blade itself.

[@1Luisinga]

Is it better for sharpening a knife doing it trailing or against the stone?

[@TormekSharpening]

In general we recommend against the direction of rotation (edge leading) since it is more effective and leaves a smaller burr.

[@longclong]

Wish I’d known to keep that peice earlier… like when I had it.

[@83144600]

Hi I heard on one of your videos you could sharpen a sword on the T8. How would that be done? Use the longer tool rest? if so, what would the maximum sword length be on each tool rest? What I'm getting at isn't the (length of a sword) confined to tool rest length. I want to sharpen a long sword. Thanks for any help.

[@TormekSharpening]

Hi! You are absolutely right that the length of the tool rest would limit how long of a blade you could sharpen with a good result. There is also the option with multiple knife jigs along the blade. But not really any perfect way. Then there is also this way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIeoaaijnaqYg9Esi=Ga3iPHL0ZwCfj8Td ;) Stay sharp! /Hugo from Tormek

[@TonyMonaghan-zf6yp]

Does this fit the T-4

[@TormekSharpening]

Hej Tony, yes it does. //Wolfgang

[@TonyMonaghan-zf6yp]

Do people leave these on their machines all the time?

[@TormekSharpening]

Hej Tony, it's uppto you ;-) //Wolfgang

[@TonyMonaghan-zf6yp]

@@TormekSharpeningIt arrived yesterday. I'm leaving it in the far side slots as my Tormek jig drawer is now full 🤣

[@user-tl8js6lt1j]

I'm sure there must be a reason it hasn't been done, but wouldn't it be easier to just have reverse switch on these sharpeners to spin the wheels in the opposite direction when needed?

[@GaryMarksUK]

If you put wheels in reverse they would unscrew the self’s from the machine.

[@user-tl8js6lt1j]

@@GaryMarksUK True with the factory nuts/handle it might. Do people change the wheels often enough to need it to be a tool less design though? I really like my T-8 but the amount and price of the jigs over an already expensive grinder seem a bit much sometimes.

[@TormekSharpening]

In fact, we have investigated having dual rotation, but the mechanics for such a solution would be much less durable, and we don't like that :)

[@joespratt413]

If you buy all those jigs at once to you get a free Sherpa to keep track of what goes where?

[@TormekSharpening]

Hej joespratt413, the best way to keep track where the jigs are is to store them right on the spot in our TS-740 ;-) tormek.com/en/products/storage/ts-740-sharpening-station //Wolfgang

[@Jeff034]

How do you sharpen a violin knife? It’s very thin.

[@TormekSharpening]

Hej Jeff, in part 9 of the Live Sharpening Class you see how it's done. //Wolfgang

[@johnbauby6612]

Is there a way to sharpen timber frame slicks on the T8?

[@TormekSharpening]

Hej John, chisels and slicks can be sharpened with the SE-77 Jig for straight edges. IF the slicks are to big there are a few solutions by using the SVD-11 Toolrest or maybe it fits in the SVS-50 Multi jigg. You'll find more info on our webpage. //Wolfgang

[@johnbauby6612]

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Greatly appreciated. The slick blade is curved or more accurately, it is cupped so that when you lay it flat on a timber the entire blade does not touch the timber. A flat slick is easy. I can use the SE 77 if I remove the handle but the cupped blade slick....I think I may have to try to sharpen it freehand. I am very happy I chose to purchase a Tormek over any others. I bought it for my woodturning tools and I found that I use it to sharpen almost everything from scissors to kitchen knives to my timber frame tools. At the end of the day I sharpen them so each day I start fresh with razor sharp chisels and it makes such a huge difference. Tormek has made sharpening fun, fast and repeatable instead of a chore.@@TormekSharpening
