MB-102 Multi Base
Unlock perfectly flat bevels and edge-trailing sharpening with the Tormek MB-102 Multi Base, a fully adjustable mount that lets you sharpen on the side of Tormek diamond wheels and convert horizontal mounts to vertical for superior control on T-8, T-4, and older Tormek machines.
The Tormek MB-102 Multi Base is designed for precision sharpening on the flat side of Tormek diamond grinding wheels, giving you a completely flat bevel rather than the slight hollow grind produced on the wheel’s circumference. This is ideal for tools where a flat bevel is preferred, such as luthier knives, Kiridashi knives, V-gouges, chip-carving knives, and Japanese plane blades. With its adjustable joint and clear reference markings, the MB-102 lets you fine-tune and lock in the optimal sharpening position for each tool and jig, enhancing repeatability and accuracy in your workflow.
Mounted in the horizontal sleeves, the MB-102 converts them into a frontal vertical position (FVB) so you can sharpen knives edge trailing and perform guided honing using Tormek knife jigs with improved access and control. The base can be installed in either vertical or horizontal mounts, making it flexible for different stances, jigs, and applications on Tormek T-8, T-4, and earlier machines. Built from precision-cast zinc with durable black plastic knobs, it is engineered for shop use and carries a 2‑year warranty for long-term reliability.
The MB-102 comes fully assembled and ready to use out of the box, with compact dimensions that sit neatly on your Tormek setup. Sharpening on the side of the wheel is recommended only with Tormek diamond wheels, as standard grindstones wear and require truing that cannot be done on the side. Whether you’re refining fine carving tools or dialling in knife edges with an edge‑trailing technique, the MB-102 Multi Base gives you a versatile, precise sharpening platform that integrates seamlessly with most Tormek jigs.
