Thanks

That part number doesn't come up on an internet search and not on the Tormek web site.  check that you have the letters and numbers correct.  Perhaps you can post a photo of it.

This is just a wild guess: The original Tormek grinding wheels were natural
sandstone mined at Gotland Island. These were phased out to the aluminum oxide manmade Super Grind (SG) wheels. Perhaps the SE wheels were these sandstone,
Email support for a better answer (support@tormek.se).

Please post their reply.

It is the natural grindstone. Tormek went away from the natural grindstones years ago. I believe that it is a natural Aluminium oxide so is pretty much equivalent to the SG but natural rather than synthetic.

Many purists swear by natural stones claiming that they give a far more robust and sharper edge though much of this is probably perception rather than reality.

Synthetic stones can be produced with much higher consistency are reliability which is why most stones these days are synthetic.

Having said that if you do have the old ES then it should work perfectly fine ... until it wears down of course
