Tormek Diamond Grinding Wheels
Users who often sharpen the same tool will love how quick and easy it is to sharpen with the Diamond Grinding Wheels. That's because they always maintain the same shape allowing you to maintain the same jig setting for a tool. They can sharpen all types of steel as well as ceramic knives. You can also sharpen tools that require a completely flat bevel against the flat side of the wheel.
The Diamond Grinding Wheels are specifically developed for Tormek's low RPM, water-cooled sharpening systems as no heat is generated. They are extremely wear-resistant and maintain a constant shape allowing the wheels to stay round, true and flat with a full-size diameter.
The Diamond Wheels are exceptionally durable with a diamond coating, the world's hardest abrasive. The Diamond Wheels come in three different grits: Coarse (360 grit), Fine (600 grit) and Extra Fine (1200 grit).
