Honing Guided Sharpening System with Extra Large Brass Roller is a simple-to-use tool that will assist you in securely holding wood chisels and plane irons at the correct angle to the sharpening stone.
This is so much better than those cheap sandwich sharpening guides with the small roller!
Made from aluminum, this sharpening jig has an extra wide roller to ensure your sharpening is square to the blade without any rocking as you roll back and forth.
With notched hash marks it is easy to sharpen any of your straight, skewed and works with extra large to extra small blades.
Tips:
When you receive the guide remove the clamping mechanism completely. Take the backing off the rubber adhesive and stick to it to the removable clamping mechanism. Use the screws to locate it and clamp it down to make the rubber stick to the moveable piece more securely.
Use your combo square to check for square on the leading edge and use the hash marks for center locating and quick alignment
To set different angles of skew chisels you can use a bevel gauge to reference the skew in the chisel.
I was using other guides with similar design and I would fail for uneven pressure. Chisels would not end up being 90 to the blade. My OCD is cured with this one. There is small play between shaft and brass wheel, but results are awesome.
United StatesThe wide rollers make this jig much more accurate in sharpening my chisels and irons
United StatesThe moment I opened the package, I knew I was looking at a well made, well designed, meticulously manufactured product. Set up is easy with a combination square: the alignment lines not so much. Got my first hand plane iron sharpened in no time at all. Overall, very satisfied with my experience.
United StatesI’ve only started woodworking this year, so my chisel game is on par with t-ball. Knowing my big box chisels needed sharpening out of the box, they’re now scary sharp in no time thanks to this jig.
United StatesThe sharpening jig works great. Easy to use. I made a 25/30° set jig. Also bought the scary sharp system. It’s all just too easy.
