⚡ At a Glance
- • Sharpening Accuracy: Angle fixing tool and adjustable distance deliver a consistent bevel along the cutting edge
- • Best for: Home woodworkers, hobbyist chefs and DIYers who maintain blades manually
- • Not ideal for: Users who prefer a powered, hands-off sharpening machine
Angle fixing secures and fine-tunes the blade-to-stone relationship, while an off-centre roller improves performance on short blades. Compatible with blade widths from 0.2 to 2.55 inches and locked by a metal stud for secure clamping.
Uniform Edge Geometry - with the New Angle Fixing Tool
The angle fixing mechanism sets and holds the distance between the top of the blade and the guiding bar, so the bevel stays consistent along the entire edge. Fine adjustments change the effective sharpening angle to achieve standard bevels.
A consistent bevel reduces hot spots and makes subsequent honing predictable, so repeated passes yield the same edge each time.
Steady, Controlled Strokes - with Widened Bearings Roller
A widened roller at the base increases contact area and stabilises movement across the whetstone, preventing the jig from tipping during use. The roller runs smoothly for back-and-forth strokes required on diamond plates.
Stable tracking helps remove material evenly and reduces the risk of gouging or uneven edges during sharpening.
Works with Small and Wide Blades - with Off-Centre Roller and Adjustable Clamp
An off-centre roller improves support for shorter planer blades, while an adjustable knob clamps blade widths between 0.2 and 2.55 inches. A metal stud lock secures blades so they do not shift during passes.
Versatility means narrow chisels and wider plane blades can be sharpened without changing jigs, making the kit useful across workshop and kitchen tasks.
