Versatile grinding for all materials

The DF-250 can be used to sharpen all types of materials, including steel, ceramics and hard metal. It fits the Tormek T-8 Original, Tormek T-8 Custom, Tormek T-7 and earlier models with a 250 mm grinding wheel. Its consistent shape and even grinding surface make it ideal for repeated sharpening where precision is paramount – particularly valued by woodturners and craftspeople.

Flat edge and precise control

The grinding wheel allows you to work both on the face and on the side, making it possible to achieve a completely flat edge – perfect for smaller tools such as knives, chisels and gouges. For side grinding, it is recommended to use the MB-102 Multi Base together with the appropriate jig for optimum results and maximum control during sharpening.

Rust protection and longer service life

All Tormek diamond grinding wheels are supplied with 150 ml of ACC-150 Anti-Corrosion Concentrate, which protects against rust when grinding with water. Add 10 ml of concentrate to 250 ml of water to prevent corrosion and extend the wheel's service life. Grinding with water also produces a smoother surface, though the wheel can be used dry if necessary.

Frequently asked questions

• Does this grinding wheel fit my Tormek T-4/T-3?

  Yes. The DF-200 Diamond Wheel Fine fits the Tormek T-4 Original, T-4 Bushcraft, T-3 and older models that use a 200 mm diameter grinding wheel.

• Does it fit the Tormek T-8 or models with a 250 mm wheel?

  No. The DF-200 is a 200 mm grinding wheel and is not compatible with Tormek models that use 250 mm wheels (e.g. the T-8). If you have a T-8, you should choose a 250 mm diamond wheel (e.g. the DF-250).

• Can I grind without water?

  Yes, it is possible to use the diamond grinding wheel without water, but Tormek recommends using water together with the included ACC-150 Anti-Corrosion Concentrate to extend the wheel's service life and achieve a smoother grinding surface.

• How much pressure should I apply when grinding?

  Use only very light pressure when grinding on a diamond wheel. Let the diamond coating do the work – excessive pressure can damage the wheel.

• What is the grit size, and what results does it give?

  The DF-200 has a grit of 600, which combines effective material removal with a fine and smooth surface finish, suited to precision sharpening.
