Professional Molding Knife Sharpener for Tormek Systems

If you have European pin style molding knives and need them sharpened, the Tormek Sharpening System's molding knife sharpening jig is exactly what you require. Designed for these unique knives, it includes an extra universal support to ensure compatibility. The jig laps the flat side of the knife, with pin spacings of 24, 30, and 38 mm, allowing it to sharpen the face of the blade and handle virtually any shape.

Like other Tormek knife sharpening jigs, this one offers flexibility in adjustment and support, and once the perfect position is found, everything locks down tight to ensure a precise and repeatable sharpening. For added stability, a magnet is included, and the system is designed to get the most edge with the least removed metal, significantly extending tool life.

The Tormek SVP-80 Molding Knife Jig is suitable for all shapes and makes of molding knives with 24, 30, or 38 mm distance between guide holes. It sharpens the face of the blade, allowing any shape to be processed. The maximum width of blades that can be sharpened is 100 mm (4 inches).

The attachment comprises a base, a knife holder, an extra Universal Support with micro adjust, and two pairs of hollow pins for the knife holder. The base is mounted on an extra Universal Support and on the existing Universal Support of the machine, and it is locked with a screw. An arm, which is locked with an adjustable hand lever, stabilizes the construction.

The knife is placed on the pair of hollow pins on the knife holder, while a magnet keeps the knife in place. The holder has holes to fit various knife standards, and two pairs of pins are included with the jig. The knife holder glides on the base, which has PTFE surfaces to minimize friction.

The knives are ground on the face, and adjusting the nut on the horizontal Universal Support sets the grinding depth. Molding knife sharpening has never been easier with this Tormek solution.
