Effective honing and maintenance

The LA-145 leather honing wheel is used after grinding to achieve maximum sharpness and a fine, polished finish on the tool's edge. The wheel effectively removes the small burrs that form during grinding and ensures a smooth surface. It can also be used for quick edge maintenance between sharpening sessions, simply polishing to restore sharpness without regrinding.

Application

Before first use, the leather wheel should be conditioned with a little machine oil to keep the leather supple and extend its service life. Tormek PA-70 honing compound is then applied, which together with the leather produces a glossy, sharp edge. Always use at low speed on the Tormek machine for optimal control and results.

Premium leather from Tärnsjö Tannery

The leather on the Tormek LA-145 comes from Tärnsjö Tannery in Sweden, a time-honoured tannery with more than 150 years of experience. The tannery is renowned for its natural, vegetable tanning processes, which make the leather durable and supple. This ensures a consistent and effective polish while the product lasts for many years.
