Versatile sharpening for woodworkers: Holds and guides chisels, carving gouges, and plane irons so you can restore a fine, consistent edge without guessing angle or pressure. Secure hold while you sharpen: Two sets of stepped jaws grip tools of different widths and profiles, preventing slipping and movement so each pass is stable and repeatable. Smooth, controlled motion: A sturdy steel roller glides across the stone, delivering even contact and reducing chatter for more accurate bevels and faster edge refinement. Adjustable for length and angle: Quickly change the position and angle to match short or long blades and to set the precise bevel you need for each tool. Saves time and extends tool life: Stable clamping and guided motion reduce rework and remove only the metal you intend, keeping tools sharper longer and cutting down on wasted effort. Key attributes Function: Guides and stabilizes tools for stone sharpening. Compatibility: Works with chisels, plane irons, and most carving tools that fit between the stepped jaws. Material & performance: Durable stepped jaws combined with a steel roller for smooth gliding across sharpening stones. Adjustability: Length and angle settings accommodate a wide range of blade sizes and bevel requirements. Practical applications Reconditioning a carving chisel between passes: Clamp the chisel in the jaws, set the bevel angle, and run controlled strokes to restore a precise, repeatable edge before detailed work. Setting a plane iron bevel: Secure the iron, adjust for a shallow bevel, and use the rollerguided motion to remove burrs and obtain a flat, true cutting surface. Preparing tools before finishing: Quickly refine multiple tools to the same angle for consistent results across a project, from rough shaping to final detailing. Why craftsmen choose this tool Delivers consistent angles and repeatable results, reducing guesswork. Prevents slipping and uneven pressure that cause poor edges. Simple adjustments mean you spend less time setup and more time working. What you get A sharpening guide with two stepped jaws and a steel roller, adjustable for length and angle to suit most wood carving and planing tools.
