Tormek Stone

[yorkie]

Firstly, will the Tormek stone fit the Grizzly T100 sharpener?

Secondly, is the Tormek stone better than the Grizzly stone?

I have all the Tormek jigs and use them on the Grizzly, I figured otherwise, all I need is something to turn a stone slowly.

I need to know this as well! I can't wait to hear the answers.

Check your wheel and bore dimensions against the tormek wheel to see if it will fit. If you can't fin the tormek dimensions online, I'll measure mine for you.

The Tormek Black Silicon wheel is way better than the standard tormek wheel. If you can fit one of those on your machine you will be way better off. They cost more, but last a lot longer and will handle even the hardest tool steel with ease.

Can't comment on the grizzly wheel.

Edit: Here's what I measured on my tormek. Stone diameter = 250mm. Stone thickness = 50mm. Bore diameter is about 11.5mm.
