I have used various models of Tormek since mid 90's. I prefer it much though those chisels that end being hammered the chisel tip achieved with Tormek is a bit too fragile especially when hitting hard knot. Lots of about this depends chisel metal quality too, but I have circumvented the problem by honing the tip with higher angle to give it strength. Keep these good videos coming!
The problem with sharpening chisels is these big box stores don’t actually sell stones for chisels only knives. If u want to do it the sand paper method the big box stores r limited on the fineness of paper they have in stock which really limits the sharpness of the blade. Does anyone have any suggestions here besides the tormax?
Hey Nicholas-we actually sell a nice, inexpensive kit that includes glass, 180 and 320 grit sandpaper, a leather strop and aluminum oxide strop abrasive: shop.shelterinstitute.com/collections/polishing-equipment/products/shelter-float-glass-and-leather-strop
"If you have a weak stomach, you might wanna turn away."- That was so unexpected and well timed I literally blew my coffee across the room! Well done!

Nice demonstration. I own a Tormek and there is always something to learn. Thanks
Have you seen Knife Grinders channel? It's PhD-level grinding instructions.
How does one go about using the Tormek with a big 3 3/8” slick? The jig provided and shown only goes up to 3”.
I miss my Tormek, it's in storage. Flat waterstones are just not as much fun!
This video is going to need a viewer warning I cringed 😬 with every pass across that brick 🧱
Gaius had to take a sick day.

It’s safer for me if the chisels are sharp
