Other tools are best sharpened with the stone rotating away from the edge. With Tormek's rotating base, you can easily rotate your machine 180° and adapt the direction of rotation to your needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotating base also makes it easy to switch between sharpening and honing. Always hone with the honing wheel rotating away from the edge (edge trailing), otherwise there's a risk of the tool cutting into the honing wheel and damaging it.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eBetter Ergonomics\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWe've been very careful to make the RB-180 Rotating Base as thin as possible so it doesn't raise the machine and change the sharpening position. You can easily rotate your Tormek without heavy lifting or spilling water. All for the best sharpening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe plastics in the RB-180 Rotating Base are optimized to provide low friction and high stability. What's more, the rotating base rests on rubber feet that absorb any vibrations and keep it steady while you sharpen your tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe RB-180 Rotating Base fits the Tormek T-8, Tormek T-4, Tormek T-7, and Tormek T-3, as well as models 2000, 1200, SA-250, and N-1500.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs and details\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Shipping weight 0.73 kg (1.61 lb)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-year warranty\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tormek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58747937882486,"sku":"TOR-RB-180","price":51.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/7965\/8664\/files\/tormek-rotating-base-rb-180-888.webp?v=1789594737","url":"https:\/\/www.ukpenblanks.co.uk\/products\/tormek-rotating-base-rb-180","provider":"UK Pen Blanks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
