Hello friends!
Just found a shop here in Sweden that offers sharpening services but also sells stuff for sharpeners. Apparently in their shop they use first a T8 for sharpening and then use a dual leatherwheel setup on a T4 as a deburring and polishing station. The leatherwheels are different in texture and stiffnes for different honing agents.
What do you think about this approach?
I already have a standard leather wheel, one extra with chromiumoxide and a composite wheel.
What I like about these wheels is that they are 250mm diam. Maybe it would be nice to just keep the composite wheel on the T8 and use the T4 setup with 2 full size 250mm leather wheels? Is this setup worth it?
Any input is appreciated 😊👍

Hello friends!
I recently aquired an old tormek ES-250 natural grinding stone for my T8 and absolutely love the finish and feel of using it. Now I would like to learn more about this and maybe find other natural stones that might work with the T8.
This is more of a nische/fun thing to me that I like to use for special knives or old collectors that deserve a more historical touch with natural stones.

Found this channel on YouTube, and he regularly uses a 6000 grit Rozsutec natural stone, any experiences with this stone here on the forum? Any inputs would be greatly appreciated and also other tips of course.

Hello friends! My first post here on the forum and just recently started accepting knifes from customers. Have been doing home sharpening for 2 years on a T8 and after many requests from friends/colleges I have decided to start a small side business with sharpening.

My question is as follows: I have the Tormek DF250 wheel and recieved a knife with a few serious dents/chips in the edge. This took me quite a while to sort out with the 600 grit diamond wheel. Can I expect a substantial speed increase with the DC250 or should get a coarser CBN wheel like 80 or 160 grit?
My second question is if it is ok to swap between a CBN and tormek diamond wheel without changing the support height? The tolerances on ex: knifegrinders CBN wheels and the tormek diamond ones seem pretty close?
Does anyone here have experience with this and might be able to make a recommendation?
Thank you for this amazing forum, been learning alot both here and on YouTube 😊.
