FAQs

What grit is the Tormek DE-250?

The DE-250 has a 1200 grit diamond surface.

What is the primary use of the DE-250?

The DE-250 is primarily used for the final honing and polishing of edges to achieve a mirror finish.

Can I use the DE-250 for shaping a dull blade?

While the DE-250 sharpens, it is not ideal for shaping. Use a coarser grinding wheel for that initial shaping.

How do I clean the DE-250 wheel?

Clean the wheel with water and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Is the DE-250 compatible with all Tormek models?

It is designed for Tormek T-8, T-8 Custom, T-7, and older models with a 250 mm grinding wheel diameter.

How long will the DE-250 last?

The DE-250 is exceptionally durable due to the use of diamond, and should last a long time with proper use and care.

Where can I find replacement parts for the DE-250?

Contact Tormek or authorized Tormek dealers for replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

The wheel is not sharpening effectively.

Ensure the tool is making proper contact with the wheel. Check the jig settings and adjust as needed. Clean the wheel surface to remove any build-up of metal particles.

The wheel seems to be wearing down quickly.

The DE-250 is exceptionally durable and should not wear quickly. Check the pressure applied during sharpening. High pressure can accelerate wear. Also, ensure you are using the wheel for finishing only, and not for shaping.
