Tormek 2000 Water-Cooled Sharpening Machine w/ SG-250 Wheel & Manual
Professional-grade Tormek 2000 Water-Cooled Sharpening System, manufactured in Sweden by Tormek AB. Also known as the “SuperGrind 2000,” this model features a Tormek SG-250 grinding stone (250 mm / 10 in. diameter) for precise wet sharpening of edge tools. Its slow-speed motor and continuous water cooling prevent overheating, ensuring razor-sharp, durable edges.
Powered by a 115 V, 60 Hz, 200 W motor, the unit operates at 90 rpm (no-load speed) with a working speed of 1.2 m/s. Designed for continuous duty (S1 rating), the machine includes an adjustable universal support bar, leather honing wheel, and detachable water trough.
This example is accompanied by the original instruction manual, Water Cooled Grinding and Sharpening of Edge Tools by Torgny Jansson (Edition 9.2), detailing proper setup and technique. Renowned among woodworkers, turners, and craftsmen, the Tormek 2000 is valued for precision control and consistent, repeatable results.
