I have owned 2 x Tormek T7 & a T8 sharpener with 10' Stone, this smaller 8' stone is doing all I need it to. Good product, thanks.

Since when did anything out of Germany arrive as cheap nasty badly assembled plastic equipment intended to go in a workshop? When my package arrived I immediately contacted the supplier and advised them that the assembly was shambolic. The motor support shaft had not been installed and the loose motor had taken its toll during transport damaging the motor support stay and the bearing surface. On opening the instruction manual there was scant information on how to assemble the unit. (Possibly as this should have already been done). Once assembled it became apparent that the drive system relied on a steel shaft with high torque turning a large rubber lined wheel with low torque. In my view a recipe for disaster as it would only be a matter of time before the rubber liner became compromised and the running gear become uneven. The barest minimum of gadgetry was enclosed to provide a clamping system as if it was intended to ensure you had to purchase the next level of clamping. The leather wheel was a strip of leather mm thick which have a limited life before what? The stone wheel was a good quality aluminium oxide grit but wasn't true to the axis and would require 5-10 mm of dressing to achieve true. I replaced it with a metal geared system from Axminster which was cheaper, without the pretensions of a clamping system and made of steel.Read full review

Seems a good entry level machine. First attempt at grinding was very effective. Quality is generally good and good value for money. My only beef is against the pretty poor to non-existent set up instructions and a below par user manual. I think Scheppach could do much better in that area given the quality of their machines. Website quite good. Otherwise very happy with my new workshop toy.

Much cheaper than the Tormek and Triton, and it works well. I re-edged 10 chisel in an hour. The only difficulty I had was ensuring that the chisel tip was exactly perpendicular to the stone, but a metal ruler soon sorted that out. Easy to use and works well: what more can you ask?

Hi I bought this and on taking it out of the box I realised other reviewers were no exaggerating. The wheel is usless and when rotating it looks like a boat bobbing on a ruff sea. also it is not square the main wheel is any thing but square with the side If you buy this grinder you MUST add the cost of a new wheel. The way the thing is built is the small motor has a long spindle on each side this rests on a single rubber tyre when the motor spins the spindle turns the thin rubber wheel which makes me worry if you leeve it over a long period the wat of the spindle will depress and form a groove and be rendered usless with these cheep tools you have to ask will parts still be available when you need a new wheel also all the torque for turning the stone depends soley on the weight of the motor . I promice you will return the thing or at least complain. save yourself the bother save another 40 quid and buy a real one not this Chinese junk.Read full review
