The Tormek AWT-250 Advanced Water Trough is designed to enhance your sharpening experience. It features a built-in magnet that effectively traps steel particles, keeping your grindstone cleaner and allowing it to cut more freely. These particles can otherwise impair the stone's abrasive properties. The steel particles are collected at the magnet when you empty the trough, making it easy to clean with a paper towel. The trough also includes an extra drip cover for long tools like knives and planer blades, which channels water back into the trough, preventing spills and mess. This water trough is compatible with Tormek T-7, Tormek 2000, and older models with a 250 mm grinding wheel. It also fits the Tormek T-8.
