Maintenance of Your Tormek Water-Cooled Sharpening Machine | Part 21 | Tormek Live Sharpening Class

In this episode of the Tormek Sharpening classes we show you how to maintain your Tormek water-cooled sharpening machine. Tormek machines are known for their longevity, and are often inherited over generations. We strive for an exceptional build quality and backwards compatability, so that you will only have to invest in a Tormek once in a lifetime. In general, a Tormek machine is very low maintanance, but in this episode we go through a couple of things you can do to keep your Tormek in top trim for decades.

We show you:
How to clean your Tormek machine,
How to get the friction back on the rubber drive wheel,
How to maintain your leather honing wheel,
How to maintain your grinding wheels,
How to get your old grindstone unstuck,
And more.
