Extra fine grinding with a mirror-like finish

The DE-200 Diamond Wheel Extra Fine is designed for users who want a mirror-polished, precise edge. The fine 1200 grit makes the stone ideal for finish sharpening and polishing of tools where only a minimal amount of material needs to be removed. It is particularly recommended for woodcarvers, cabinet makers, and knife enthusiasts who are after a perfect end result.

For many types of material

The diamond coating allows grinding of almost any material, including steel, ceramics, and carbide. The stone is compatible with Tormek T-4 Original, T-4 Bushcraft, T-3, and earlier models with a 200 mm diameter. If faster material removal is needed, the DE-200 works well as a finishing step after coarser stones such as the DC-200 or DF-200.

Maintains shape and simplifies repeated sharpening

Tormek's diamond grinding stones have a consistent shape and removal rate, meaning they always remain round and flat. This makes it easier to set up the tool correctly and ensures consistent results – particularly useful for users who frequently sharpen the same implements.

Side grinding for flat edges

The rigid form allows grinding on both the surface and the side of the stone. Side grinding produces a completely flat edge, which is optimal for smaller tools such as knives, chisels, gouges, and V-tools. The Tormek MB-102 Multi Base together with the appropriate sharpening jig is recommended for maximum precision and control.

Corrosion protection and maintenance

The stone is supplied with 150 ml of ACC-150 Anti-Corrosion Concentrate. When grinding with water, add 10 ml of concentrate to 250 ml of water (approx. 4%). This protects against rust and extends the stone's service life. Although dry grinding is possible, using water is recommended for better results and a smoother finish. Always use light pressure – let the diamond coating do the work to avoid damaging the stone.

Frequently asked questions

• Is the DE-200 compatible with the Tormek T-8?

  No. The DE-200 is designed for the Tormek T-4, T-4 Bushcraft, T-3, and older models with a 200 mm grinding stone. The Tormek T-8 uses 250 mm stones, such as the DE-250.

• Can I use the grinding stone without water?

  Yes, but Tormek recommends using water with ACC-150 Anti-Corrosion Concentrate to achieve a smoother grind and extend the stone's service life.

• What does "extra fine" mean in practice?

  The 1200 grit produces a very smooth surface and a mirror-like finish – perfect for finish sharpening and polishing of cutting edges.

• Can I grind on the side of the stone?

  Yes, the DE-200 allows side grinding so you can achieve a completely flat edge. Always use the MB-102 Multi Base for precise support and control.

• How much pressure should I apply?

  Use only light pressure when grinding on diamond stones. Excessive pressure can damage the stone – let the diamond coating do the work.
