Title: Tormek Model 1000? Fake, old, or other?
Post by: mgaved on January 06, 2010, 10:01:04 PM

Hi all

I've seen somebody advertising a "Tormek 1000" (with photo showing the device and Tormek manuals, looks genuine). It looks a bit like a Tormek 1200, but with green chassis (looks metal). the advert notes it needs to be powered from a drill and doesn't have its own motor. Can anybody enlighten me on what this might be? Fake or old model? I heard that tormek used to make grinders powered by electric drills when they started.

cheers!

Tormek did make a model that was powered by a hand drill. I am not aware of the product code, but 1000 is logical.

cheers for the speedy response Jeff!

intriguing indeed. Musing whether I take a look at it. Maybe get one of my cycle hacking friends to turn into a bicycle powered eco-Tormek :-)
