The key to consistent and fast honing is repeatability, and the Veritas Mk.II honing guide delivers it in spades. Whether you're a sharpening veteran or just starting out, this versatile guide lets you concentrate on sharpening without worrying about controlling blade angle at the same time. This makes your honing reliable, accurate and consistent.
The deluxe honing guide set includes standard and narrow-blade clamping heads as well as an angle registration jig, a straight roller base and a camber roller base.
The standard head uses a clamping bar that registers on the face of the blade. It accepts flat and tapered blades between 1/2" and 2 7/8" wide and up to 15/32" thick, including skew blades. It hones bevel angles from 15° to 54° and back bevels from 10° to 20°.
The narrow-blade head clamps blades from the sides with parallel jaws to ensure they stay square to the jig. The jaws are also canted to keep blades centered and tight to the reference face of the jig, whether they have bevelled or square edges; it will even hold chisels that are triangular in cross section. It accepts blades from 1/8" to 1 1/2" wide, holding bevel-edged chisels up to 15/32" thick and square-edged blades up to 11/32" thick. It hones bevel angles from 15° to 40° and back bevels from 10° to 20°.
Offering an impressive range of angle settings, the integral blade angle registration jig squares the blade and sets the bevel angle in one easy step. A scale and sighting mark help center blades when using the standard head; the narrow-blade head is self-centering. Once the blade is clamped, the jig slides off the guide.
The interchangeable rollers attach to the clamping heads with a single thumbscrew. The eccentric axle mount lets you add a micro-bevel to any angle setting with a simple turn of a knob. The straight roller hones straight edges. At 2" wide, it provides a stable base for even the narrowest of blades. The barrel-shaped camber roller lets you rock the guide slightly to hone a slight curve or camber into a blade edge, eliminating blade tracks when planing.
The completely predictable results this set offers for a wide variety of blades make it useful in the shop of any woodworker who works with hand tools. Made in Canada. Patented. The optional Veritas Skew Registration Jig is offered separately.

The camber roller is an accessory for the Veritas Mk.II honing guide (05M09.01) and gives a slightly cambered edge on plane blades. It does not fit the narrow blade guide.
The roller on the Mk.II guide can be replaced. The standard guide has a straight roller, and a spare roller is available separately. The deluxe set has both the straight roller and the camber roller. The camber roller can also be bought separately for a standard guide.
Veritas has examined honing guides that produced an uneven bevel and in most cases found nothing wrong with the guide itself. Most often it comes down to how the guide is used, so it is worth going through the instructions again and checking how you set it up and use it.
That said, an individual honing guide could be faulty. If yours still gives an uneven bevel, contact us and we will help you further.
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.
