Faithfull Honing Guide for Chisels & Plane Irons – Precision Sharpening Tool for Use with Oil, Water & Diamond Stones

A perfect companion tool to go with the weightstone sharpening kit. Cheaper than some of the alternative brand names, but of equal quality and ease of use.

My only one niggle is that it wont accept a 2” (50mm) bevel edged chisel.Other than that, very good indeed and worth buying. Easy to use and automatically squares up your blades.

This is a high quality product and a very useful set of gadgets it is my first stick that actually worked with my phone and Go pro setting up was a breeze and the fun and ease of access is 10/10 a good strong pressure calm holds your device nice and secure. I was not expecting a drawstring bag for all the extra bits and stick very good quality indeed plus if you need to you are able to attach the stick to a separate tripod (not inclded) and use the remote from the stick that can be detactched for convinces also a reflection miror for camera placement etc very well put together and feels very lush when holiding. There are endless uses for the stick depends on device of course just be certen its paired properly with blutooth. Highly recommend it for Android and iOS not tried it on Win yet but I will be happy with it regardless and I highly recommend the stick so don't hesitate.

After finally getting round to sharpening my plane blades I found this guide very useful keeping the blade at a constant angle over the oil stone to give a nice sharp level edge. The guide is well made and looks like it will last to give years of service.

I've sharpened a couple of plane blades with this. On the first (vintage No4 plane) it did a good job but the primary bevel was already at correct angle. So if you just want to hone a secondary bevel or do a quick tune up this will do the job.The second blade I sharpened was a vintage Record 077a bullnose plane blade, on this one I needed to re-establish the primary bevel, and that's where this honing guide falls down. The bevel angles (25 deg primary, 30 deg secondary) are OK, and going through the grits I was able to get the blade sharp enough to shave the hairs off my arm. But the front edge is nowhere near perpendular to the sides, nor is it straight. The guide roller is just too narrow, has way too much play, and this play already got worse from when I received the guide less than a week ago.If accuracy is important to you, best look elsewhere and be prepared to pay a bit more.

Good to use and easy.

Sharpen chisels and plane blades sharp and square. Easy to use and does the job.

I am totally inept when anything resembling skill is required but this tool enabled me to put an edge on some new chisels that were blunt when they arrived. Others have modified the tool. I haven't. It worked "out of the box".
