Title: Tool Holder Sleeve
Post by: metzz on January 02, 2017, 02:38:21 PM
Does anyone know if the sleeve for the tool holder can be purchased separately? I lent mine to a friend and got it back with the sleeve broken where the two tubes meet. He must have dropped it or something. It's part number 4 in the attached image.

Sharp tools USA/Advanced machinery, Jeff Farris's old company, is the USA parts place.

Thanks for that. I was hoping to find it on this side of the pond. Being made in Europe I thought parts would be more relatively available here. I'm from Ireland.

Try Brimarc. Ken says for UK users to contact them for parts. I am not sure for other countries. Would think Tormek in Sweden would be another possibility.

I finally got the photo to open. The sleeve (listed for the older SVD-185) lists for $29 and change at advanced machinery plus shipping. If you are trying to upgrade the older model, the new SVD-186 is a substantial enough upgrade that I would recommend getting the newer jig.

If you are still interested in pyrchasing just the part, contact Tormek support (support@tormek.se). I was hoping the new beta website would list dealers who carry parts. Apparently that has not made it into the site.

Hi,

On the web page we have this link http://tormek.com/international/en/resellers/

On the new webpage it will also be listed. If somone sell Tormek they can get parts.

Best,
Stig
