Sharpco,

as that blade is way wider than most kitchen knives, I'd say 'yes' with some confidence 
(I'd try to use the chisel jig instead, if the handle was removable, but that won't be the case, I suppose.)
Mike

I'll try. 

Sharpco,

I'd use the SVM-140 and clamp it with the handle parallel to the jig's shaft.

Mike

Thank you Mike,
Can I set a low enough angle that way?

Hello.

Could you explain how to sharpen this leather knife on the Tormek?

Do you have a Twice As Sharp?

Good idea!

I can hear the gears working in our minds; how do we adapt this to the T4 and T7/8?

I expect it's not difficult

Can I use DBS-22 on T-4?

I am using a DBS-22 with a T4 for sharpening drills. Works great. Sharpening stone from Makita silicon carbide 120 grit.

Thank you.

Sharpco,

I consider the DBS-22 to be Tormek's most advanced jig. In skilled hands, it can produce amazing results.

I use mine infrequently. I always watch Alan Holtham's excellent youtube before using it to refresh my knowledge.

I agree. It's amazing jig. 

Sharpco,

The DBS-22 can be used with drill bits up to 22mm (7/8") in diameter. Tormek has told me that sharpening bits that large (22mm) can be taxing on the motor of the T4. However, homeowners and light contractors rarely need bits larger than 12mm (1/2").

I didn't know that. Thanks for information Ken.

Hi Sharpco,
yes, you can. I know some people who do so on a T-3 and T-4, too.

Mike

Thank you

Sharpco, old friend, you may think I am a pagan, however, neither the logo nor the angle slots are important to me. If a square is accurate and (preferably) doesn't rust, I am a happy camper. The Anglemaster has angle slots.

Ken

You're right

I use it. It works well after edge leading grinding.

But after edge trailing grinding on the belt grinder, it's not good honing solution.

Sharpco,

This seems like an ideal use of a 3D printer for a Tormek accessory. It is a very simple tool, essentially just two rectangular pieces attached at a right angle. designing it with a 3D program should be a fast, easy project.
It is also small. Unlike other 3D projects I have seen, it can be made with smaller printers designed for home use. Being small, it would not take long to print or require much filament. Being plastic, it will not rust or corrode.

I would suggest a higher fill percentage. Once you are satisfied with it, I would make up several. Don't use Tormek's copyrighted logo. (Use your one business name; it's good advertising.)

Ken

Ken.

That logo is key point

Hi,
It's a product with very limited production and currently not for sale.

Best,
Stig

Thank you Stig.

I hope Tormek makes it again.
