I have a T8 and came across this stone. It looks like a good height polish option and a reasonable cost. Has anyone had experience with it that they could share? Thanks
From the appearance it looks like Aluminium Oxide. This should be excellent for carbon steel but will not perform well on harder steels such as HSS, hard Japanese knives, or specialty steels. So it really depends on your application.
It has a 1/2" arbor bore, so it would need a bushing to fit the Tormek 12mm shaft. That is a difference of 0.472" vs 0.500", or 0.028" total and 0.014" wall thickness tube. Good luck finding that.

That is 0.7mm or 0.35mm wall thickness. Just get a 0.35mm shim of plastic.
