The side-clamping honing guide design is familiar to most woodworkers. The Veritas side-clamping honing guide is a piece of modern engineering that improves on this established design while keeping its flexibility. Chisels and plane blades from 1/8" (3 mm) to 2 1/2" fit securely for accurate honing, and the unique three-point holding position holds odd shapes such as plow and shoulder plane blades.
The guide has two blade positions, upper and lower, that support most types and lengths of chisels and plane blades in a balanced, ergonomic set-up. Most woodworkers will find one position best suits their needs and build a registration jig for it. Its simplicity makes it the go-to guide for rapid, repeatable honing, and paired with a shop-built registration jig it provides a flexible sharpening set-up for most workshops.
Facts:
For blades 1/8"-2 1/2" wide
Three-point holding for odd shapes
Two blade positions
There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
A honing guide holds the tool at the right angle to the stone. A side-clamping honing guide grips the tool from the sides and suits chisels and narrow plane irons well. A top-clamping honing guide holds from the top and also handles blades with bevelled sides and unusual shapes.
Both work well, and the choice depends on the tools you have. The guide compares the types.
