Tormek US-430 Extended Universal Support

The new US-430 Universal Support is an extended version of the versatile TORMEK US-105 Universal Support.  It is made of 12 mm round steel and has a double mounting for maximum stability. This Universal Support is @ 4" longer than the regular support, 30mm longer than the previous limited edition US-400, and it includes the micro adjust for exact and fast fine settings.  

The legs of the US-430 are also increased to 200mm compared with to the 145mm leg length on the US-105 and US-400, and the length of the US-430 bar includes 53mm on the short side covering the Honing Wheel. 

The new US-430 combines the extra length of the bar with 55mm of extra height, allowing, for example, wide cleavers to finally be sharpened with precision.
