Veritas MK.II Honing Guide Set

Description

Veritas Mk.II Standard Honing Guide

The key to consistent and fast honing is repeatability – and this guide delivers it in spades. It will set bevel angles from 15° to 54° and a range of back bevels from 10° to 20°. It can easily accommodate chisels as narrow as 1/2″ and blades as wide as 2 7/8″ and up to 15/32″ thick.

The blade-registration jig slides onto the guide body, centering and squaring the blade with an integral fence. The blade stop has discrete positions for preset bevel angles. It features a three-position eccentric roller, allowing you to hone micro-bevels quickly and accurately with only a turn of a knob.

Manufactured from die-cast zinc alloy, with precision-machined brass and steel parts. For the user, this means quick, accurate sharpening and perfectly repeatable results, reducing unnecessary stone and blade wear. Patented.

• Clamping mechanism registers on the face of the blade, accepting flat and tapered blades as well as those with irregular geometry
• Has three eccentric roller positions, allowing a micro-bevel to be honed quickly and accurately after a simple twist of a knob
• 2″ wide brass roller is stable for the narrowest of blades
• Accommodates chisels as narrow as 1/2″ and blades as wide as 2-7/8″ up to 15/32″ thick
• Works with short blades, such as spokeshave blades, without special jigs
• Die-cast zinc alloy with precision-machined brass and steel components
