Review on Enhance Your Sharpening with Tormek SJ 250 Japanese Waterstone: Unleash Precision and Durability by Cody Stroop

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Removes metal faster than expected

I sharpen knives as a business. I use ceramic tape to remove most of what needs to be removed and then move on to this wheel. I only do 4000 loops at the very top and it takes 1-2 passes on each side if you are going for a "very light" buff. I find it needs a few more deburrings if I want 4000 to be my final treatment. But you can't tell the difference in sharpness, so I opt for a faster polish! PS Tormek recommends regrinding every minute or so to relieve the disc surface. I do this less often and bought a new flat rod especially for this task. I was afraid my old shell would scratch the thin finish of this expensive wheel.
