Thanks for your input/advice John And Rick,
 the reason i was so attracted to the diamond wheels is the no faffing around and it keeping the same diameter ie 200mm for the whole life of the chipper blades hollow grind, i would usually send them off for sharpening in 2 or 3 sets at a time but cost and end sharpen is getting expensive and poorly performed, so i decided i would be better doing it myself, and in a 2-3 years the t8 will pay for its self, plus as a small tree surgery business i have lots of other tools and other friends who need stuff sharpening
I did get a response from tormek about the axel/shaft and its the same across the t4-t8
prob being a bit to fussy, but i hate blunt tools whatever they are, you always pay for it down the line  :D
Will post on here when i sort it out,
again thanks for the help in my sharpening journey

Thanks for the reply Rick
I think I understand what your saying, so my t8 which has a df250 on it which i use to sharpen all my hand tools, will accept the df200 on the t8 shaft, but for badly damaged blades i would be better off with a more traditional stone set up?
Haven't had my t8 long so quite new to a sharpening systems like this

General Tormek Questions / T8 custom - Df200?
February 10, 2024, 06:51:35 PM
Can any one tell me if the T8 can run df200 or dose it have to run a df250, reason is I would like to sharpen my own woodchipper blades, so the t8 is a bit more industrial for those purposes than the t4, but my chipper manual recommends hollow ground radius of 100mm -75mm, any help would be appreciated.
