    • Sharpening

    Comments about Veritas MK II Honing Guide :

    I want a simple device that I can use with sandpaper, stone or whatever I have. I don't want to have to do a set up. This works perfectly. Take it out of the tool box, grab an abrasive and in a minute the chisel or plane iron is ready to use.

    Comments about Veritas MK II Honing Guide :

    This thing is amazing. Solid, heavy-duty construction that feels good in your hand. The registration jig looks complicated at first, but use it once and you never have to refer to the instructions again. Comfortable to use. Makes a tedious chore easier, especially for a beginner!

    Simple to use, and lets you hone accurately. 1/4 inch chisel is difficult to register. The clamping bar doesn't hold it down tight enough.

    Comments about Veritas MK II Honing Guide :

    This thing works great. You have to be careful not to reach the index stop with the blade as it will nick your blade and cause you to have to do some extra honing.

    Comments about Veritas MK II Honing Guide :

    First I sharpened an older chisel and it straightened the cutting end and gave it an excellant edge. Next I got a rather expensive block plane new and it came sharpened!! Well I put it on the sharpener and then found it was not sharpened nearly like it was when I was done. Also have done one plane blades and it works as advertised. Good investment.
