The Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener is designed, tested and approved for home use while the Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener is made and certified for commercial use, with a larger format and a more powerful motor.
For the Tormek T-2 there's two different grinding wheels in addition to the standard 600 grit DWF-200 Diamond Wheel Fine; the DWC-200 Diamond Wheel Coarse (360 grit) and the DWE-200 Diamond Wheel Extra Fine (1200 grit), which can be purchased separately. The Tormek T-2 also has the ability to sharpen round, rotary blades using the RBS-140 Round Blade Sharpening Attachment.
Otherwise, the sharpening method is the same on both machines, with the Tormek T-1 having a smaller format to fit in the home kitchen, since the Tormek T-1 is intended for home use.
If you work in commercial food preparation, the Tormek T-2 is the right machine for you. If you are a home cook who want razor sharp kitchen knives à la minute, you should get the Tormek T-1
Both machines has 8 years warranty (5+3 years upon registration at tormek.com). The Tormek T-2 has full warranty for use in commercial kitchens, while the warranty for the Tormek T-1 is valid for home use only.
