The Tormek DC-200 is a coarse-grit diamond grinding stone for the Tormek T-4, which effectively removes steel and quickly restores dull or damaged cutting edges. The coarse 360 grit makes the stone ideal for shaping and repairing tools.
Highlights
- Diamond grinding stone with 360 grit for rapid steel removal
- Maintains constant shape and diameter for precise results
- Ideal for coarse grinding, shaping, and edge repair
- Compatible with Tormek T-4, T-4 Bushcraft, T-3, and older models
- Suitable for steel, ceramics, and carbide
Effective coarse grinding and shaping
The DC-200 Diamond Wheel Coarse is designed to remove material quickly, making it easy to shape or repair tools with damaged or heavily worn edges. The 360 grit ensures a high material removal rate, making the job significantly faster. For a smoother finish, subsequent fine grinding with the DF-200 or DE-200 diamond stones is recommended.
Versatile use and compatibility
The stone is compatible with Tormek T-4 Original, T-4 Bushcraft, T-3, and earlier models with a 200 mm diameter. Thanks to the diamond coating, it can be used on almost any type of material, including steel, ceramics, and carbide. The constant shape means the stone always retains its size and roundness, making repeated setup and sharpening simple and consistent.
Side grinding option
The DC-200 retains its form and allows grinding on both the surface and the side of the stone. Side grinding produces a completely flat edge and is particularly suited to smaller tools such as knives, chisels, and woodcarving tools. For optimum support, using the Tormek MB-102 Multi Base together with the appropriate jig for the specific tool is recommended.
Corrosion protection and maintenance
All Tormek diamond grinding stones are 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%), which protects against rust and extends the stone's service life. Although the stone can also be used dry, using water is recommended for a smoother result and reduced heat build-up. Always apply only light pressure during grinding – let the diamond coating do the work for you.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the DC-200 compatible with the Tormek T-8?
No. The DC-200 is compatible with the Tormek T-4, T-4 Bushcraft, T-3, and earlier models with a 200 mm grinding stone. The Tormek T-8 requires 250 mm stones, such as the DC-250.
- What is the coarse grit used for?
With a grit of 360, the DC-200 is ideal for rapid material removal, coarse grinding, and shaping of damaged edges. It should be followed up with a finer stone for a smooth finish.
- Can I grind without water?
Yes, but using water with ACC-150 Anti-Corrosion Concentrate is recommended to protect the stone and achieve a better grinding result.
- Can I grind on the side of the stone?
Yes, side grinding is possible to achieve a flat edge. Always use the MB-102 Multi Base and the correct jig for optimum control and safety.
- How much pressure should I apply during grinding?
Use only light pressure. Excessive pressure can damage the diamond grinding stone. Let the diamond coating do the work.
