Continuous Operation for Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-2

Due to new certification standards, Tormek T-4 Original, Tormek T-4 Bushcraft, and Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener has a continuous operation instead of 30 min/h, starting with machines produced November 1, 2023.

What does it mean?

We have a new certification standard for the Tormek T-4 Original, Tormek T-4 Bushcraft,
and the Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener, which now will be certified for
continuous duty instead of 30 minutes per hour.

This means that all Tormek T-4 and Tormek T-2 machines produced starting November
1st 2023 and going forward are certified to run continuously under load, like the Tormek
T-8 machines.

There are no physical or mechanical changes to the machines, only a retake in the
certification process which led to the enabling of continuous runtime.

Some Tormek users have seen the previous difference in operation time between the Tormek T-4 and the Tormek T-8 machines as the main difference. We refer to this FAQ External link, opens in new window. to understand all the differences between the Tormek T-8 Original and the Tormek T-4 Original.
