Triton Whetstone Sharpener – 120W Wet Stone Bench Grinder with Honing Wheel, Tool Rest & Angle Guide, Orange (TWSS10 / 949257)

I bought mine in January last year and it has seen a lot of use. It is very sturdy and simply does what ever job I put to it; I mainly bought it to grind new lathe tools from blanks of tool steel more accurately than a normal grinder and without the concern of heat build up affecting the hardness of the tips. I have also used it to restore and sharpen many knives and a few chisels, which when finished on the leather honing wheel are truly razor sharp. I had not used one of these before owning one and initially approached grinding on it in the same way I used a standard grinder, this was too heavy handed and resulted in some minor damage to the stone in the form of nicks and grooves to the surface. These were very easily dressed out and the surface restored with a dressing tool. Since then I have been a lot lighter on the pressure, letting the stone do the work, and get consistently good results from it. So far the only fault I've had was my initial operation of it so I give myself 3.5 stars but the machine gets the full 5.

Could be better. The stone is not dressed and requires truing to be effective. Otherwise it is not bad

Been thinking about getting a whetstone grinder for years. This one was at a price point that made me finally get one. I'm going to update this if I learn how to put a good edge on a tool but so far I'm failing. By hand I can get chisels and plane blades razor sharp with this... meh! I was really hoping for better results but its early days and I haven't tired to sharpen any really good tool steel on this machine. The one inch chisel I use for hacking was worse after half an hour sharpening on the Triton TWSS10 than when I started. An hour later after regrinding the bevel several times and lots of honing it was no better. So far the good point and it may be the only good point is this tool is very good, quick and accurate at putting a primary bevel on a tool ready for hand sharpening. The side of the whetstone is also very good for flattening the back of chisels. Some points on the product as delivered. The packaging is good, mine was well beaten up on arrival but the contents were OK. Download the manual as the printed version has print so small that I doubt many have eyesight good enough to read it. If you are only regrinding plane blades and chisels everything you need is in the box. Anything else and you'll have to put your hand in your pocket again to get a suitable jig. I wanted to regrind a couple of planer blades and as far as I can see Triton don't have a jig for any blades that are shorter than about 100mm. Meaning its not any use on planer blades or spoke shave blades. I've ordered a few of the jigs so I'll update if I get any success.

does exactly, what it says. And does it really, really well. 10min to unpack it and its ready to go. Gave it the worst case , high cobalt tool steel. 15 min to do the job, that would have otherwise, taken me hours. 1 1/4 " chisel that was only fit for the scrappy. Saved in 20 min. I like this - a lot. only minor gripe - the leather honing wheel, is a bit lumpy, but that should sort itself out, or I could dress it.

I was a bit sceptical about spending my money on this sharpener after reading some of the reviews, but I am over the moon with this sharpening tool, I am new to woodworking properly and for the first time I have razor sharp chisels and plane blades, if you read the instructions and take your time setting up the jigs its easy to use and does a fantastic job, I'm glad I spent £200 and I recommend to anyone who has a load of chipped and blunt chisels to perches one themselves.

The jig supplied with the machine does not fit true to the face of the grinding wheel, I'm ending up with the ends of my chisels out of square, the jig is useless. The two plastic bushes were initially very tight making it difficult to run the blades across the face of the stone. This is now easier and seems to indicate wear through being worked across the bar, will this get worse over time making the plastic bushes useless.? For £200 I would have expected better accuracy than I'm achieving. In hindsight I could have saved a lot of money by getting bench whetstones. Other than the jig and its supporting arm the grind stone is not true, you can feel the stone undulating as it spins over the piece being sharpened. Its of solid construction but that's where it ends. For me to continue using it I will have to adapt skills to use it by hand.

Eccellente. Niente da invidiare alle marche più blasonata. Affila benissimo.Se vogliamo trovare qualche pecca la ruota in pelle non credo sia di primissima qualità e prevedo non durerà a lungo se usata intensamente , comunque ,quando sarà,incollarci sopra un nuovo pezzo di cuoio non lo trovo complicato. Seconda cosa i due rostri della barra reggi attrezzi, ballano un po dentro i 2 tubi di serraggio con viti, quindi quando si serrano suddette viti assicurarsi che tutto il sistema sia in asse con la ruota. Adottando questo accorgimento si otterranno risultati eccellenti.Spedizione e tempistica amazon impeccabili.

Si te dedicas a la carpintería o a algún oficio donde precises materiales afilados ni te lo pienses!!! la compré con un poco de escepticismo por la gran diferencia con las Tormek, que suelen costar el doble, pero Me ha sorprendido muy gratamente. Si no existiese tendrian que inventarla. Apenas he vuelto a usar el esmeril desde que la tengo. Ademas me vino con el soporte para afilar formones y cuchillas de cepillos, piedra de asentado, guia de ángulos y pasta de pulido. Tuve que comprar aparte un accesorio para las gubias y otro para otras herramientas, pero tienen un precio asequible y son de calidad (se nota en la presentación que traen) Una maravilla, si estas dudando en comprarla repito, ni lo dudes!!

Ce touret d’affûtage est un excellent appareil. Il permet d’affûter simplement et sans risque une large variété d'outils : outils à bois (ciseaux à bois, gouges), couteaux (couteau de cuisine, couteau pliant, etc.) et même les ciseaux. L'appareil très lourd, parfaitement stable. Il est livré avec absolument tout le nécessaire : guide, gabarit, pâte à polir et pierre à 2 faces pour redresser la meule (un coté corsé, un coté plus fin). La mise en service est toute simple, il suffit de suivre les instructions et en 5 minutes c'est prêt à l'emploi. A l'usage, c'est parfait, pour autant qu'on suive les instructions ou qu'on sache se servir de ce type de touret : veiller à maintenir tout le temps la meule bien immergée, conserver le même angle pour l’affûtage des lames, ne pas se presser. Si on suit ces recommandations de base, on peut obtenir un tranchant absolument rasoir sur ses outils. J'ai essentiellement utilisé cet appareil pour réaffûter mes couteaux de cuisine et mes couteaux pliants, dont certains étaient très abîmés. Résultats impeccables, mais il faut bien prendre son temps. Ravi de cet appareil, qui en plus d'être particulièrement costaud donne des résultats vraiment impeccables !

Nach langen Recherchen, wie dem Vergleichen Von Testergebnissen, Lesen der zahllosen Rezensionen etc. habe ich mich für die Triton entschieden. Letztendlich ging es nur um Tormek oder Triton. Ich muss vorausschicken, dass ich schon Erfahrung mit allen möglichen Formen des Nassschleifens habe. Ich denke auch, dass ich mit einer 08/15- Scheppach oder sonstigen Billiganbietern zufriedenstellende Schleifergebnisse hinbekommen würde. Maschinen hin oder her, es kommt fast ausschließlich nur auf den Handwerker an. Er muss das Messer schleifen können und nicht die Maschine. Kurzum, nun habe ich sie: Die Triton macht einen sehr wertigen Eindruck (trotz "Made in China") solides Blechgehäuse, eine gute Verarbeitung, fein justierbarer Tragarm, mit Tragegriff, absolut standfest dank des Gewichtes und der Gummifüsse, vernünftiger Schleifstein und hervorragender Abziehscheibe. Preis und Leistung stimmen absolut, was ich vom Wettbewerber Tormek nicht behaupten möchte. Die Tormek T8 ist aufgrund der hervorragenden Verarbeitung, wie Lagerung und Antriebstechnik, zwar noch ein Ticken besser als die Triton,. Aber das rechtfertigt nicht die enorme Preisdifferenz. Verbesserungswürdig wäre an der Triton lediglich der etwas hakelig daherkommende Wassertank. Vielleicht könnte er vom Hersteller auch noch mit Magneten versehen werden. Ich habe mir die nun selbst eingebaut - Centartikel. Der ruhig und absolut rund laufende 50 mm breite Schleifstein mit 250 mm D benötigt keine Drehzahlregulierung. Mit dieser Schleifgeschwindigkeit ist man in allen Fällen bestens bedient. Ich habe mir die Maschine gekauft, weil ich mir Freizeit sparen will. Das Schleifen der hochwertigen Stechbeitel und Hobelmesser von Hand ist eine zeitraubende Angelegenheit und "Sauerei" dazu. Hier soll die Triton Abhilfe schaffen. Das wird sie auch, denn die ersten Arbeiten sind vielversprechend. Das weitere Zubehör werde ich von Tormek verwenden, weil,es einen soliden Eindruck macht. Fazit: Eine absolute Kaufempfehlung und bisher Unentschlossene sollten nicht Zögern, hier zuzugreifen (Nein, weder Amazon noch Triton haben mir etwas versprochen😀)

Tu veux du tranchant et tu galères avec les pierres à eau qui coutent plus chères que la machine, alors fais toi plaisir et fonce. Vu le nombre de couteaux et d'outils tranchant que je fabrique, j'ai pas le temps de m'amuser sur les pierres à eau et en plus je suis pas trop doué. Rien qu'avec le touret j'ai un tranchant rasoir, et tout le monde me demande pour réaffuter ses couteaux. Un vieux couteau usé au fil cassé ou abimé redevient un objet à ne pas mettre entre toutes les mains. Juste penser à acheter le triton 318358 pour les couteaux et voir chez torm*k, les concurrents, pour le petit gabarit d'affutage de petit couteau trouvable sur un autre site d'enchères en ligne, et la vous êtes garantis de tout aiguiser à moins que vous soyez douè sans guide, ce qui n'est pas mon cas. mdr.
