Chisel Sharpening Jig, Wood Honing Guide for Chisels and Planes Width 0.1" to 2.8" with Sharpening Angle Fixture, Angle Gauge from 10° to 45°

I bought this because I was having a heck of a time getting an new inexpensive block plane properly sharpened by hand.. The kid is easy to set up and quite accurate.. I don't think I ever would've been able to sharpen this properly by hand because having the guide showed me just how badly the blade was manufactured from the factory. I never would've spent the time required to sharpen the blade, as I never would've suspected it was as bad as it was. (out of the bike. I don't think this plane would've cut hard cheese, let alone any kind of wood.).A fair bit of sharpening later, with the guide to show me that I was going in absolutely the right direction. The cheap plane is now quite decent and able to take nice curls off of hardwood with little effort.Definitely good value for the money here.I did also want to respond to another review I saw which almost made me not buy this product. One reviewer was complaining about the "chrone" coming off the roller fairly quickly.THERE iS NO CHROME! The roller is a nice heavy piece of polished stainless steel with nice smooth bearings. But due to the nature of how this product is intended to be used that polished stainless roller is going to be rolling over the sharpening stone or diamond plate that's used to sharpen the blade . Naturally, running the roller over a coarse surface intended to a abrade metal, is going to dull that factory polished surface. It has zero effect on functionality, and it's just a consequence of the way the sharpening guide is supposed to work..Overall entirely satisfied with this purchase, and glad to have it as part of my sharpening kit.

It's kind of fiddly and has a shallow learning curve but is more reliable than free hand, for me anyway. But it's not really any faster.

This sharpening jig does the trick. Easy to setup and use. Very well crafted. large roller surface to keep the jig flat on your stone. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to make sharpening your tools fun.

Well machined aluminum works well. Only 4 stars because the bevel guide had burrs that I had to file down.

Vary good angle accuracy and good quality

Exceptional tool. So much bette Ethan any other sharpening jig, and it comes with the angle set and angle gauge. Makes it easy to keep all my tools sharp.

Works like a charm
