You will be amazed at the ax sharpness you can achieve with the SVA-170 Ax Device. The ax sits securely in the device and is sharpened to a consistent grinding angle, whether the ax has a straight or curved blade.
Why the SVA-170 Ax Device?
- Get razor sharp axes with a blade that lasts longer.
- Easy and precise sharpening.
- Works with Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-8, as well as older models.
- Works with most types of axes.
Straight or curved blades that last
Outdoor axes and carving axes generally have a curved blade, while cleavers and carpenter's axes can have a nearly straight blade. The ax is attached to the rubber stopper of the device so you can easily follow the blade, whether it is straight or rounded.
When dry grinding on a high-speed grinder, there is a risk of burning the blade and damaging the ax. This risk does not exist with the Tormek sharpening system, since it rotates at low speed and water continuously cools the blade.
Setting the sharpening angle by use
Choose the best sharpening angle for your axe. The angle of the blade for a multi-purpose ax for sports and leisure purposes is greater than for a cutting axe. A splitting ax requires an even greater blade angle.
Chopping axes can be sharpened asymmetrically, with a larger bevel on the left side (if you are right-handed). Thus, the ax will cut more easily because the cutting force is closer to the cutting direction.
The end of cramps in the hands
The rotation of the grindstone pushes the ax upwards so that it is stopped against the rubber stop of the device, which amplifies the force of your hand. This ensures that just the right amount of pressure is automatically applied against the wheel. And your blade won't cut the wheel either, which can easily happen when you sharpen by hand against the direction of rotation.
