Why Choose the MB-102 Multi Base?

Precision Sharpening for a Perfectly Flat Bevel

The MB-102 Multi Base is the ideal tool for those seeking a perfectly flat bevel, thanks to sharpening on the flat side of Tormek diamond wheels. It is particularly suited for precision tools such as:

• Luthier knives
• Kiridashi knives
• Chisels
• Carving knives
• Japanese planes, and many more.

Versatility and Optimal Accessibility

Thanks to its clever design, the MB-102 allows for:

• Front vertical mounting of the universal support, providing better access for sharpening knives in the direction of the wheel's rotation.
• Guided sharpening with high precision using knife sharpening jigs.

It is compatible with Tormek T-8, Tormek T-4, and older models.

A Perfectly Flat Bevel: Excellence Within Reach

When sharpening is done on the curved side of a wheel, the resulting bevel is slightly concave. However, some tools require a perfectly flat bevel for optimal performance. This is where the MB-102 truly shines, allowing sharpening on the flat side of the diamond wheel.

Note: Sharpening on the side of the wheel with the MB-102 Multi Base is recommended only for diamond wheels. It is not advised for traditional wheels, which wear down and require adjustments that are not possible on the side.

Customizable Settings for Each Tool

Equipped with a fully adjustable joint, the MB-102 perfectly adapts to each tool and sharpening jig. It can be mounted on vertical or horizontal supports, depending on your needs and your Tormek machine configuration. This flexibility ensures precise adjustments for optimal sharpening.

Simplified Sharpening and Guided Honing

By mounting the MB-102 horizontally on your Tormek machine, you can set the universal support vertically at the front of the machine. This setup facilitates:

• Sharpening knives with the edge following the wheel's rotation direction.
• Guided honing using knife sharpening jigs.

Many users prefer this configuration, especially when sharpening on the Japanese Waterstone, to prevent the edge from catching on the softer wheel.

Compatible with Most Tormek Jigs

The MB-102 Multi Base is designed to work perfectly with most Tormek jigs, including:

• KJ-45: Knife Jig with Centering
• KJ-140: Wide Knife Jig with Centering
• SVM-00: Small Knife Jig
• SE-77: Square Edge Jig
