Description Here are the key differences between T-4 and T-8: T-4 grinding machine is designed for hobbyists and enthusiasts. When grinding is not done professionally and daily – this model is fully sufficient for home workshops Workload. With this machine, it is not recommended to work in intervals longer than 30 minutes, allowing the motor to fully cool down between sessions Size, motor power and durability. While the T-4 motor is also very high quality, it will serve less than half as long as the T-8. Still, it’s more durable than most grinding machines – 10,000 working hours Body material. T-4’s top plate is steel, but the main body is made of ABS plastic, unlike the T-8 which is fully steel Grinding wheel for both coarse and fine sharpening Like the larger Tormek models, the T-4 is equipped with the Tormek Original Grindstone. It is optimized to combine efficient steel removal, smooth surface finish and a long life. With the included Stone Grader, you can alter the stone surface from 220 grit to about a 1000 grit surface, giving you two different sharpening qualities in one stone. Sharpen chisels, knives, scissors, carving tools and more The T-4 is well suited for sharpening chisels, knives, scissors, and smaller tools like carving tools. It also works with turning tools and drill bits. For sharpening planer blade knives (with SVH-320) and moulding knives (with SVP-80) we recommend one of the larger Tormek machine models. Note that a few shapes of gouges cannot be honed with the SVD-186 R Gouge Jig on the leather honing wheel due to the compact size of the Tormek T-4. These tools can be honed freehand instead. The motor is rated for 30-minutes continuous use at a time. That is usually more than enough for home needs, but if you sharpen more we advise you to take a look at Tormek T-8 which can run continuously.
