Veritas code 05m09.01

The key to consistent and fast honing is repeatability and this guide delivers it in spades. Whether you're a sharpening veteran or just starting out, this versatile guide lets you concentrate on sharpening without worrying about controlling blade angle at the same time. This makes your honing reliable, accurate and consistent. The original standard Mk.II honing guide includes the standard clamping head, straight roller base and angle registration jig. It's the option most useful for woodworkers who mostly use planes and other wide blades. It accepts blades between 1/2" (12.7mm) and 2-7/8" (73mm) wide and up to 15/32" (11.9mm) thick, including skew blades.

It hones bevel angles from 15° to 54° and back bevels from 10° to 20°. The interchangeable rollers attach to the clamping heads with a single thumbscrew. The eccentric axle mount lets you add a micro-bevel to any angle setting with a simple turn of a knob. The straight roller hones straight edges. At 2" (50.8mm) wide, it provides a stable base for even the narrowest of blades.

The optional (sold separately) barrel-shaped camber roller lets you rock the guide slightly to hone a slight curve or camber into a blade edge, eliminating blade tracks when planing. Made in Canada.
