Chisel Sharpening Jig with Diamond Sharpening Stone 400 1000 3000 8000 Grit Wood Honing Guide for Chisels and

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. Read more

Wow! First chisel I tried this jig on is sharper than I’ve ever had it. It was super simple to set the correct angle and super easy to clamp the chisel in the jig. Foolproof and repeatable accuracy. Cuts through cherry end grain like butter, really. It has a very nice wide roller that allows me to use the entire width of my diamond stones. And I’m sure it will be nice when it comes to plane irons - the jig is plenty wide. Well made, thick aluminum material. I never liked my clunky, cumbersome, hard-to-use veritas rig that costs about 3 or 4 times as much! Plus it doesn’t handle tapered chisel blades at all! It’s going up on Marketplace. Read more

Easy set up bevels. Almost foolproof. The wide roller keeps the blade level. Works well for chisels and plane irons. Bevel set is off by a half a degree, but not important. Read more

I received my shipment today and gave it a quick test. I have a few honing guides and I think this is going to be the one I'll use most. Very solid build, the Jaws grip nice and tight and the plane iron sits square in the Jaws. Nothing more I could as from a honing guide. It work as it should and at this price! Well done Gohelper! Good piece of kit. I like-y a lot! :-) Read more

This is a nice kit - well-thought-out, with very clear directions, well-worth the money (if you want sharp chisels) and easy to use. It brought one of my dad's chisels I had inherited - the one with a chip in the cutting edge - to a sharp edge with three hours of off-and-on work. Now . . . to work my way through the REST of the "chisel drawer"! Read more
