Positioning of Machine
When the MB-102 Multi
Base is mounted horizon-
tally for sharpening on the
side of the grinding wheel.
With the MB-102 Multi Base, you can sharpen on the side of the Tormek diamond grinding
wheels. This creates a completely flat bevel which is preferable in some applications. The
MB-102 Multi Base has an adjustable joint which allows you to fix the sharpening position
based on the optimal setting for each tool and jig. For convenience, the MB-102 Multi Base
can be mounted either vertically or horizontally.
When mounting the MB-102 Multi Base horizontally on your Tormek machine, you can also
mount the universal support vertically in front of the machine. This provides better access
for sharpening knives with the edge in the same direction as the rotation of the grinding
wheel (edge trailing) and for guided honing using knife jigs.
The MB-102 Multi Base can be used with the Tormek jigs: KJ-45 Centering Knife Jig, KJ-140
Wide Centering Knife Jig, SVM-45 Knife Jig, SVM-140 Long Knife Jig, SVM-00 Small Knife
Holder, SVX-150 Scissors Jig, SVA-170 Axe Jig, SVS-38 Short Tool Jig, SVD-186 R Gouge
Jig, SVS-50 Multi Jig, SE-77 Square Edge Jig and SVD-110 Tool Rest.
Note Using the MB-102 Multi Base to sharpen a flat bevel on the side
of the grinding wheel is only recommended for sharpening with Tormek
diamond grinding wheels. It is not suitable for grindstones as they would
require truing which is not possible on the side.
