Alan Holtham, English woodturner and journalist, shows you step by step how to get started and use the Tormek T8 sharpening system.

Learn how to:

• Use the jigs included with the Tormek T8.
• Mount and dismount the grindstone on the machine.
• Apply oil and honing compound on a new leather honing wheel.
• Sharpening with water and why it’s important.
• Use the scraper to clean the water trough.
• Use the Stone Grader to adjust the grindstone to a finer surface, and back again.
• Use the Truing Tool to make your stone round and flat, if needed.
