Love my new T-8! only have the straight edge jig that came with the machine. Now I'm saving my pennies to get the Tormek HTK-806 Hand Tool Kit next. Struggled for years with my two Baldor grinders, getting good edges on my chisels, knives, planer blades. Not an issue any more!

[@SharpeningSupplies]

That's great to hear! Glad it's working well for you.

I don't have one, and am not skilled at sharpening, but this is great information, best practice tips.
That setup looks easy enough for a novice to perform.
I had no idea there were so many jigs available, you can sharpen virtually anything with quick, reproducible results.
If I ever saved up for something like this, I'd have to start a ledger for everything I sharpen, so I'd know what angles and jigs to use, haha.
Thanks for the upload.

The Tormek system is fantastic for repeatability and speed. They are real simple to use. It's an investment but you can see the utility they provide. If you do get one, it comes with an instruction manual with several blank lined pages to keep those notes in!

How about the jigs to sharpen clipper and trimmer blades.
Can tormex sharpen convex and concave barber scissors?

Disculpe la pregunta cual es el precio de tormek t 8

[@K3Flyguy]

Is it possible to just sharpen in edge trailing method. I have experienced a catch several times with edge leading and am now quite uncomfortable with edge leading. I must have precision edges but am really wrestling with this. My work height is correct and hold firmly but still get a catch on occasion. Thank you.

[@SharpeningSupplies]

Yes, you can sharpen edge trailing. Edge leading is a little more aggressive. Tormek recommends edge trailing with their Japanese grindstone, which is a little softer and could be damaged if the tool catches.
