I have an older Tormek, a 7 I believe, with a number of jigs that I purchased 20+ years ago. Some of the jigs/parts do not have a model number on them. I there an area where I can see photos of older versions and parts?
Welcome to the forum, Uncle Build. Good question. Email digital photos of your jigs to Tormek support (support@tormek.se). Support can identify them for you.
Or, you could post photos on the forum for us to identify.
If you register your tormek on the website (tormek.com) you can downloadthe latest online edition of the handbook. No charge for any of thesechoices.

Is it blue or green?
There are lots of websites with photos of the jigs. Just do a google search for tormek jigs. Here's one. (https://www.amazon.com/s?k=tormek+jigs&hvadid=777091883919&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9027690&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=1119948710713197685--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=1119948710713197685&hvtargid=kwd-132544205&hydadcr=1607_13794457&mcid=0737c5f3197139489755c4abaac24e89&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_7jujcfcdmb_e)
This website (https://www.sharpeninghandbook.info/PurchasedAnOldTormek.html) is without pictures but it has lots of useful information comparing the older jigs and accessories to the new new ones, and listing them all. From there you could type the jig's model number into a search engine and find pictures of it. (BTW, I also bought my Tormek in 2002).
I've heard this request a few times now, so I've added pictures.
Does anyone know the original model number for the square edge jig? I have one with no number on it, and it's somewhat different from the current design.
Unclebuild,
"Tormek has several obsolete square edge jigs, with the SE-76 being a common older model replaced by the current SE-77, which offers cambering ability; even older models include the SVH-60, designed for thicker chisels and preceding the SE-76, with all these jigs designed for sharpening chisels and plane irons to a square edge, though the newer ones offer more versatile features."
I suspect your twenty year old jig is the SVH-60. one of the newer jigs would be easier to use.

Thank you Ken. I'll look up those models you listed and see which one I have. Btw, I'm NWR1487, not Unclebuild.
** It's an SVH 60 jig based on the photos I saw. Seems to work fine.
