Frontal Vertical Base for Tormek


"It seems every Tormek user was waiting for this, thanks for making it possible."
Mahalo, Roy from Hawaii


"The FVB is so great that I think Tormek should buy the design from you and have it as standard part on all Tormeks.
Controlling the angle when honing is very important, and with the FVB I now have full control."
Harry, Norway


"I received your FVB and have been using it now many many times. What a great device! It has made my Tormek so much better! My best BESS score is now 49 and I can regularly hit < 80 on standard knives."
David, Austria

Controlled-angle honing and edge-trailing grinding of knives, cleavers and wide blades

 

Frontal vertical base for edge-trailing sharpening of knives, cleavers and wide blades, and controlled-angle honing on the leather wheel.

Angle-controlled honing on the Tormek leather wheel eliminates risk of rounding the cutting edge.
The knives sharpness we get of 0.1 micron would be unachievable without the Frontal Vertical Base.

 

Use for honing on a felt wheel with diamond spray

 

Mounting instructions

The FVB is provided assembled ex-works, do not attempt to disassemble.

Insert the FVB into the horizontal sleeves of your Tormek:
- for regular knives till the FVB is pressed against the Tormek housing (Preset standard position);
- for wide blades and cleavers - till the mark on the FVB rod is flush with the end of the Tormek horizontal sleeves (Preset extended position).
Lock the FVB position with the black locking screws of your Tormek horizontal sleeves.

The nut on the threaded rod is used for fine adjustment when using the marker method and setting to an arbitrary position.
