Overview

Why RBS-140 Round Blade Sharpening Attachment?

  • Sharpens round, rotary knife blades of approximately 80–140 mm (3 1/8"- 5 1/2") in diameter.
  • Fits most hole profiles on blades from different manufacturers.
  • Self-sharpening after assembly – just mount and start the machine!
  • Separate honing deburrs and polishes the blade to razor-sharpness.
  • Fits the Tormek T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener.

Sharpen your own rotary knife blades

With the RBS-140 Round Blade Sharpening Attachment, you no longer have to send your round knife blades away to be professionally sharpened. You also prevent them from becoming dull or damaged after honing on a whetstone, which results in varied bevel angles over the blade. Instead, you get a professionally sharpened blade in no time, with the same bevel angle around the entire blade. Your round knife blades never need to leave your restaurant again!

Blades that last longer

Because the RBS-140 Round Blade Sharpening Attachment is used together with the T-2 Pro Kitchen Knife Sharpener, a minimal amount of steel is removed from your rotary knife blades during sharpening. This gives them a longer service life – benefiting both the environment and your wallet. Quick and easy!

Professional sharpening for the best results

Sharpening your round knife blades to professional sharpness is as easy as can be with the RBS-140 Round Blade Sharpening Attachment. After mounting the blade in the accessory, fold it down onto the grinding wheel and start the machine. The accessory is designed so that your round knife blades self-rotate against the fine-grained diamond grinding wheel and are sharpened without you having to do anything more than to start the machine.

After about a minute, the blade is fully sharpened. You then remove the blade and hone it separately on the composite honing wheel to remove the burr that's formed and polish the edge to razor-sharpness (be sure to wear protective gloves!). It's just as easy to do as the blade will be sharp!
