Jig for the Veritas Mk.II honing guide that sets skew angles of 10–45° and bevel angles of 20–35° on plane blades and chisels.
Skew registration jig for the Veritas Mk.II honing guide, for setting left- or right-hand skew chisels and plane blades. The jig locks into the honing guide and sets the blade at the correct angle, so the skewed edge comes out straight and accurate.
Skew angles are laser-etched from 10° to 45° in 5° steps, with additional marks at 18°, 22° and 28° for common skew plane blades. Four tracks give bevel angles of 20°, 25°, 30° and 35°, and a micro-bevel is honed using the guide's eccentric roller. A sliding fence with blade stop lets you match an existing skew angle, including non-standard ones.
Machined aluminium base. For use with the standard head only, not the narrow-blade head. Made in Canada.
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.
