Our new HG-1 Honing Guide is the most precise and adjustable Honing Guide on the market. This is traditional “A-Frame” design that lets the user adjust the cutting edge by turning the thumbscrew in the back. The sliding “T-square” is a simple way to square the cutting edge of the plane iron to your favorite sharpening stone. Made of anodized aluminum, stainless steel screws, and a solid brass roller, this precisely machined guide will last a lifetime, probably more!A few easy steps will give you accurate and repeatable results. Using the SUG-1 Set-Up Gauge (sold separately) with the Honing Guide gives you the same angle every time you sharpen. The Set Up gauge comes marked with 20, 25, 30, and 35 degree angles. Once the blade is clamped into the HG-1 to an angle close to what you want on the Set-Up Gauge, you can fine tune the angle with the precise rear knob. Check the squareness of the cutting edge with the built-in T-square. Now you can smoothly sharpen your blade through all of the grits you need. If you desire a micro-bevel on the edge, simply turn the rear wheel. No other blade adjustments necessary. One revolution of the knob adjusts the blade angle just under 1 degree.The HG-1 will handle blades up to 2-3/8" wide.
