Planer Blade Sharpening / Re: T-4 / SVH-320 / DF-200?
Yesterday at 05:06:34 PM
Thank you, Ken
How experienced can you become in ~ a year?
I started with buying the T-4 including the TT-50, SE-77, KJ-45, MB-102, RB-180 and ~four months later the SVH-320 and SVD-110.
That was when I convinced myself I was able to sharpen almost anything 'satisfying'.
(Chisels, handplane blades and 'everything kitchen'.
But I am very aware of the fact you have to gain experience, you can't learn that.

Planer Blade Sharpening / T-4 / SVH-320 / DF-200?
October 28, 2025, 09:07:50 PM
Newbie (Dutch) Tormek user (2024) and new Forum Community Member as of last Friday.
I bought a T-4 after having seen all the Tormek YouTube video's in the English and German language. Not a professional sharpener and not a woodturner – only regular woodworking - so the T-4 would be the machine to go for. I do however have a planer/thicknesser, - three blades, 310 mm long, 3mm thick - so besides all the usual suspects regarding Tomek jigs, also the SVH-320.
I have read all the posts on this topic and although it has been a fight to figure out how to correctly set up the jig, I am quite pleased with the result and didn't encounter most of the issues mentioned in the earlier posts. The SG-200 will become a problem though, since the blades are HSS steel. I am considering a DF-200 for the planer blades.
It has been recommended by Tormek in their Video's for the T-8 - 4 years ago, when there were no diamond wheels for the T-4 - but I would like to learn from community members if that would be the right choice.
