Last post by tgbto - Today at 08:09:42 AMSalut,
Il faut peut être nettoyer plus souvent (en ôtant l'aimant et en suivant les consignes du manuel) pour éviter les accumulations de particules de métal.
Pour les lames fragiles, il est recommandé de mettre un peu de scotch de peintre (je recommande le 3M bleu) pour protéger la surface.
English summary : clean the protection pads often, protect delicate blades with blue painter's tape.

General Tormek Questions / T1 rayures des lames lors de l...
Last post by Philippe - Yesterday at 04:48:54 PMBonjour
Je constate des rayures sur les lames après leur affutage avec mon t1.Cela se produit lorsque que j affute plusieurs lames.je suppose que des résidus s incrustent dans le guide et rayent la lame lors des aller retour.
Existe te t il une solution pour pallier ce problème?
Merci d avance
Philippe

Wood Turning / Re: New wood turning workshop ...
Last post by RichColvin - August 14, 2026, 04:53:51 PMMBS,
I am a woodturner with this setup:
* https://sharpeninghandbook.info/Images/ForumPics/TormekStationFront.jpeg
* https://sharpeninghandbook.info/Images/ForumPics/TormekStationSide.jpeg
(I can't imbed the pictures for some reason, but the links work.)
The toolbox on which my Tormek T-8 sits is 32" tall. I am 5'-7" tall; you may need to adjust the height of the stand to match your height.
I have found that I grind my turning tools with the grinding wheel rotating towards me (as shown in these pictures). Thusly, I am looking down at tools which are often held in a more vertical position. This height works well for that.
Also, having this on a toolbox makes for storing the jigs easy, and keeps them right-at-hand for quick use.
As you are getting started using the Tormek for sharpening wood turning tools, I recommend you take a look at the Time Saving Tips I've cataloged at https://sharpeninghandbook.info/TimeSavingTipsForTheTormek.html. These really make it easy to quickly re-sharpen your tools and get back to woodturning.

General Tormek Questions / Re: TORMEK T-1 (wrong voltage)
Last post by John Hancock Sr - August 14, 2026, 09:06:09 AMI believe that the motors are voltage specific. I bought a voltage transformer from AliExpress for about AU$25. They are pretty low current devices so it does not require a high power rating.

Last post by AKMike - August 12, 2026, 01:20:41 AMThey don't mention bench height directly, but you will get some ideas by watching the Tormek Friends videos, particularly Glenn Lucas. You should also check out Glenn's YouTube channel for tips on sharpening woodturning tools with the Tormek.
