How to reverse the spinning direction of the Tormek T-8?
I want to sharpen knifes. I’m using the angle setter with the knife jigs. I do excactly everything the same as the YouTube tutorials. But in the tuturials the wheel is spinning away from them. With my machine the wheel is spinning in the opposite direction, towards me.

Thank you for your message!
In all of our videos and tutorials, we demonstrate sharpening with the grinding wheel rotating towards the user .This is the standard setup we recommend, as it provides good control and effective sharpening.
If you prefer to sharpen with the wheel running away from the edge you can place the universal support in the front sleeve of the machine. This changes the sharpening direction and gives you a different feel, which some users prefer.
Both methods work – it’s mainly a matter of preference and application.
