Basic Honing Guide Works Well February 8, 2008
MT Nester (Tucson, AZ)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have used this honing guide with DMT diamond stones on a set of Hirsch chisels as well as on plane blades up to 2" wide. I used, coarse (blue), medium (red) and fine (green) grits, and was able to achieve nice even edges. Chisels mount in the narrower inner chanel and plane blades in the outer chanel. I simply matched the existing edge angles by lightly honing and adjusting the blade insertion depth as needed. If you want to set a precise edge angle you would need a protracter since the guide does not have any calibrations (the instructions suggest using a ruler). In use I found that the guide did a good job of maintaining angles. I had thought that the narrow roller might allow side-to side rocking, but since the blade edge helps to stabilize the assembly horizontally, there was no rocking. In all, this guide does exactly what I need it to do and for a reasonable price.
