With the Multi Base MB-100 you can grind to the side of Tormek diamond wheels, creating the perfectly flat bevel needed for some applications.
The MB-100 base has an adjustment line to allow you to correct the sharpening position to the optimal setting for each tool and device.
For more convenient use, it can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
The MB-100 base can be used with Tormek devices: SVM-45 Device for knives, SVM-140 Device for long and thin knives, SVM-00 Device for mini knives, SVX-150 Device for scissors, SVA-170 Device for axes, SVS-38 Device for short tools, SVD-186 Device for gouges, SVS-50 Device Multi, SE-77 Device for straight edges and SVD-110 Sharpening support.
Edge angle adjustment
When setting the cutting edge angle using the updated version of the WM-200 angle positioner, use the upper angle scale marked MB-100.
When setting the bevel angle using the previous version of the WM-200, add 18° to the preferred angle.
For example, if you want to sharpen a chisel at a 25° angle, add 18° to the angle positioner and therefore use the 43° mark. Always set the disc diameter compensator of the WM-200 to 250 mm when sharpening with the MB‑100 base.
Please note that the MB-100 base is only designed for sharpening with Tormek diamond wheels.
It is not suitable for sharpening wheels, as this would require a straightening which is not possible on the side.
