This honing guide allows those who use our miniature chisels and planes to keep the blades properly sharpened
A 1:3-scale version of the Veritas sharpening system, it consists of a honing guide and an angle jig
The honing guide has a die-cast aluminum body that rides on a brass roller and accepts blades up to 3/4" wide; the stainless-steel clamping knob holds the blade against a pad in the guide
The angle-setting jig has a 2 1/2" long base and a five-sided wheel that you can turn to a selected facet; you can use it to set your blade angle to 15°, 20°, 25°, 30° or 35°
With the blade loosely held in the honing guide, simply roll the guide up to the wheel and clamp the blade
You can return to exactly the same angle each time you want to hone a blade, ensuring accuracy and reducing sharpening time
The system is also a sharpening option for other small blades, such as those used with our flat detail palm plane and other small planes
Comes in a French-fitted leatherette presentation box
