Title: Upgrade from T4 to T7 dilema
Post by: Segovia123 on May 05, 2023, 10:10:42 AM
Hi

I was very disappointed that I could not purchase the Tormek CW-220 Composite Honing Wheel for my T4

I am therefore considering selling my T4 and buying the T8 with the Tormek CW-220 Composite Honing Wheel, or I could stick with the T4 and use my cash to invest in some diamond grinding wheels. Although I am not too sure if that would benefit me any, still doing the research. Any advice appreciated.

Within an hour of when my T2 arrived, I had this honing wheel (and the diamond wheel) working on my T4. Tormek markets the T2 through a different marketing channel (Tormek Culinary), however, they are almost identical machines. Here is a link:

Due to size constraints, the surface is tapered.

I would not replace a T4 with a T8 just because Tormek does not yet make an identical composite wheel to the CW-220.
