Longer universal support for longer and higher tools

The US-430 Extended Universal Support is designed for sharpening long or tall tools, such as long knives, meat cleavers and machetes. Like our other universal supports, it has a Micro Adjust scale for precision setting of the sharpening angle.

Overview

Why US-430 Extended Universal Support?

  • Longer support for sharpening long tools.
  • Taller support for sharpening tall tools.
  • Easy to mount– just insert into the precision mounts.
  • Fits the Tormek T-8, Tormek T-7, Tormek T-4, Tormek T-3 and older models.

For longer and taller tools
The US-430 Extended Universal Support is designed for anyone sharpening particularly long or tall tools. Sometimes your regular universal support just isn’t enough, either in length or in height. You might be sharpening a tall meat cleaver or a long knife, for example.

The SE-77 Square Edge Jig stop function, that prevents the tool slipping off the grinding wheel, doesn’t work with the US-430 Extended Universal Support as it is too long for that.

Fits your Tormek
The US-430 Extended Universal Support fits the Tormek T-8, Tormek T-7, Tormek T-4, Tormek T-3 and older models. The universal support is 436 mm (17 1/8″) long and 212 mm (8 3/8″) high. You can position it vertically for sharpening into the edge (edge leading), horizontally for sharpening away from the edge (edge trailing), or horizontally for honing with jigs. Like our other universal supports, the US-430 Extended Universal Support also works with the MB-102 Multi Base for sharpening on the side of diamond grinding wheels.

More Information

The bar is 436mm long, including a 50mm extension on one the side. The extra length makes it possible to use your Tormek machine to sharpen long chef’s knives or even machetes.

The side extension covers the honing wheel, so you don’t need to remove the bar and flip it for honing. The legs are over 50mm longer than the standard US-105 Universal Support, making it possible to raise the bar sufficient to accommodate wide cleavers using the standard SVM-45 knife jig. Like the standard universal support bars, one leg features a screw thread offering micro-adjustment with a scale for precise setting of the edge angle.

Fits Tormek T-8/T-7/T-4/T-3 and older Tormek models.
