Tormek XB-100 Horizontal Base
Have an older Tormek machine and want the control and safety of sharpening edge trailing?
The XB-100 Horizontal Base gives you the mounting points you need to use your universal support horizontally, opening the door to safer, smoother sharpening and precise jig-based honing.
By adding these horizontal precision mounts, you can sharpen with the wheel moving away from the cutting edge and hone with controlled, repeatable accuracy.
This upgrade brings older machines up to modern sharpening capability, making your setup more versatile and easier to use.
With the XB-100 installed, your tools sharpen more predictably, your jigs perform better, and your workflow becomes noticeably more refined.
