Good find, Sharpco!

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

Interesting ! Thank you for the find...

The one I made is far from as innovative as the new one from Tormek.  But I'd bet the one from Tormek could be adapted to a 250mm grindstone...

Looking at the video reminded me of a joke about how long it would take for any professional sharpener to be asked to sharpen a pizza cutter...

And I was just thinking by resting the handle of said pizza cutter on the USB, mounted horizontally or on the FVB, one should be able to do a decent job of letting the rotation of the stone rotate the cutter disc. It might take some fiddling to find the right angle, but who knows. I wouldn't dare try to sharpen mine as I would probably be the first fatality ever of a sharp pizza cutter after my significant other cuts herself with it.

Can you use the round blade sharpening attachment to sharpen smaller blades - (28mm, 45mm, 60mm)? I believe the video eludes to smaller than 80mm blades (as you sharpen 80mm blades they get smaller), but has anyone tried it?

From the website (or the page referenced above) :

Works with round knife blades of approximately 80–140 mm in diameter.

So there might be a bit of tolerance built in the "approximately", but I would guess not for a 70% decrease.

If you own a T-2, you're probably limited to the measurements Tormek gives.

But in the Tormek Facebook Group, some have adapted the attachement to work on a T-4 or T-8 using an FVB.  Don't know if it'll meet your specs, but might be worth looking into.  SchleifJunkies has a video showing a sample setup.
