Tormek is fully focused on sharpening. All the product development, engineering work and production are made in Sweden. The company is located in Lindesberg, a small town in the heart of Bergslagen with a history in mining. The production is carried out in close cooperation with selected suppliers, all specialized and the best in their fields. This ensures the highest quality and a continuous access to the best and most modern manufacturing technology.
the only difference is that the SVD-186R, the R stands for redesign - it has a small locking screw underneath the central shaft.You'll need it only for chip carving knives, kiridashi knives, violin makers knives as for V-gouges. This makes it easier to sharpen them in a fixed position.
Otherwise there is no difference to the previous one.
