FAQs:

Can this diamond wheel be used with older Tormek models?

It’s designed for the T-8 and T-7. Compatibility with older models is not guaranteed and may require adapters.

Is water necessary for sharpening with this wheel?

No, but using water reduces friction and heat, extending tool and wheel life. It’s recommended when possible.

Does the diamond grit wear down over time?

The diamond surface is highly durable, but with extended use, it may show some wear—significantly less than traditional grinding wheels.

What’s the difference between this and the coarse or extra fine Tormek wheels?

This 600-grit wheel offers a balance between fast material removal and fine finish, making it the most versatile among the Tormek diamond range.
