Tormek RB-180 Rotating Base

Tormek RB-180 Rotating Base

Easily adapt the machine to sharpening and honing requirements in seconds.

Some tools are best sharpened when the stone is rotating into the edge. Other tools are best sharpened with the stone rotating away from the edge. With Tormek's rotating base, you can easily rotate your machine 180° and adapt the direction of rotation to your needs.

The rotating base also makes it easy to switch between sharpening and honing. Always hone with the honing wheel rotating away from the edge (edge trailing), otherwise there's a risk of the tool cutting into the honing wheel and damaging it.

Features and advantages

• Due to its small thickness, the turning disc hardly builds up, so that the sharpening position does not change.
• Some tools are sharpened better when the stone rotates away from the cutting edge, others when the stone rotates towards the tool.
• When honing, the disc should always turn away from the cutting edge, otherwise there is a risk of the tool cutting into the honing disc.
• There are rubber feet under the rotating disc to absorb vibrations and keep the machine stable.
• Suitable for: Tormek T-3, T-4, T-7, T-8 and the models SA-250, SA-1500, 1200 and 2000.
• Tormek offers a 2-year guarantee on the disc.
