I have a set of old very good chisels on which the blade is not long enough to achieve a useful angle.

This product did help me keep the proper angle but was a bit finicky to get the blade properly aligned to the fixture

This is a great tool, but remember you still need to set the proper angle for whatever you are sharpening.

The instructions specify the length the edge should protrude from the guide to give the right sharpening angle, but actually measuring and setting that length is tricky

, please read the instructions is a simple set up but it makes sure you get the right angle you need.

Plane irons and chizels, you can try to hold the angle free hand

Kept the perfect angle

It’s a bit tricky to set the blade to the correct position to get a precise angle.

Because of the convenience and the ability to get a consistent angle on the cutting edge I will always use this guide for sharpening my chisels and planet blades.

The first one I completely wore out under heavy use!This guide isn't hard to figure out, and can hold a variety of irons and chisels to achieve the proper bevel angle

I recommend to use this kind of tool to help you sharpen your chisels specially to conserve the right sharp and its proper angle

Perfect for holding my chisels at the correct angle for sharpening.

Used the included directions to grind the desired angle.

Gives a solid platform to keep chisels at correct angle to resharpen.

It came with very detailed instructions on how to use and the lengths needed to attain the proper bevel angles for chisels and planes

If nothing else, I'll cut a block of wood at the correct angle and use that.

This is a good-enough product that you can get a pretty close to right angle (referencing the side of your tool) edge with a consistent bevel that is razor sharp

I have learned how to mark my irons and measure to get the correct angles.

Got my chisels all to the correct angles and they

so the angle is good.

Took this rusty iron for a planer I was retiring and allowed me to restore the iron to a perfect, mirror finish at the right angle/

Be sure you have 30mm of overhang from the front of the jig to create a precise 30 degree angle

If you are not aware of this and the way your body biases an uneven pull angle, that could be problematic

Very easy to use and to set a consistent angle as needed.

I also appreciate that the seller followed up and set me an electronic copy of the instructions with the important blade alignment angles.

best way to keep the right angle on a chisel for sharpening in my opinion

Works well for long chisels or ones with very steep sharpening angles, but I cannot get it to properly sharpen some of my wood chisels without increasing the steepness of the sharpening angle from original.

Ive not checked the projections stamped into the guide but honestly all that matters is that it holds blades at a consistent angle

I was quickly able to set the correct angle and initial blade using this jig

Makes it easy to keep a consistent angle, which is key to sharpening.

There is a definite learning process on proper setting of your blade or chisels in getting the right angle to sharpen them.

This will help you keep a consistent angle on your plane irons and chisels.

No memorizing hand positions or guessing at the proper angle

The directions are very clear and the tool keeps my chisels at the proper angle for sharpening.

It grips the blades well, holds a consistent angle, works as it should.

Product is very well made and easy to get a good edge at correct angle.

I was able to square my bevel an at the accurate angle

Since I'm only a hobby woodworker, I don't sharpen my planes and chisels often enough to build up muscle memory to keep the angles consistent

I used the guide to set the proper angle on the blade and honed a nice sharp square edge in just a few minutes.

This honing guide clamps well, and holds a consistent angle.

Holding the chisel firmly in the jaws while tightening the knob with a screwdriver was very difficult and doing so while trying to position the chisel to get the right sharpening angle was almost impossible

The ATLIN Honing Guide is easy to use and provides a consistent angle for honing chisels IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS

What a fantastic sharpening jigSo easy to use and sets up the perfect angle for a incredibly sharp edge and super easy to use

I found this honing guide and decided to give it a try and in 20 minutes i corrected the angle and have a perfectly working plane.it feels like a quality

However, I find it difficult to obtain the right angle on my chisels, and the worst part of the guide is that you have to really tighten it down to keep the chisel in place

I had a hell of a time getting my 3/4 chisle set in it at the right angle and even then it still was slightly crooked

Well, it worked fine for one chisel, although I was slightly changing my angle because I was grinding down the roller too

Instructions were easy to follow and set the proper angle for sharpening my chisels and plane blades

Works great, I didn't know my chisels were in such bad shape, wrong angle.

I bought this because I have no confidence in hand-holding a chisel or plane iron at the correct angle to the paper/stone and this honing guide seemed like a good idea

This guide holds the blades perfectly, at the right angle, and allows me to get them razor sharp on the stationary belt sander.

Would be helpful to have a standard guide/measure to indicate the backset on the chisel for typical/proper angles

This holding jig worked very well for my blades and kept the angle consistent

I was able to use this to hold the blade at the correct angle to sharpen the blade perfectly.

The further I tried to put the chisel out to reach the right angle the harder it was for the device to hold it in place.

The guide holds the blades securely and allows proper angle to sharpening

I built a simple jig (online videos) to insure I'd get the correct blade extension and therefore the correct 30 degree angle every time

Although the device is currently unusable, 2 stars are given for the chance that I might be able to modify the guide to get a steady, consistent angle on my sharpening stones.

It is easy to keep the correct angle now and keeping my blades sharp is a breeze.

I was impressed with the overall quality and with a bit of measurement can get a very precise angle on the blades with consistent and precise sharpening that I was not able to achieve with the other products

The setting is easy, measure the length sticking out for the appropriate angle and you're set

but I've had difficulty setting a consistent angle

Works perfect gets just right angle to sharpen my chisel

Very convenient This tool just adjust the angle of the blade on the sharpening and also comfortable for the hand You do not have to make sure the sharpening angle is very impressive.

The blade of the chisel must be long enough to rest on both connecting rods and still extend far enough to meet the stone at the correct angle

Have already used it on a plane blade and a chisel and it held both securely and at the right angle

Does a very good job holding larger chisels at correct angle

I read the instructions and, with the aid of an inexpensive caliper, I was grinding precise angles in minutes.

the guide also has the ability to hold the tool at the correct secondary sharpening angle that make the tool even better at cutting then just the primary angle...excellent purchase

I got a very old and deeply chipped blade sharpened at the correct angle.

Well worth the money, and easy to use, with instructions for putting the proper angles on different type of blades

finally got some whetstones to try out, read the directions, worked very well; first time ever sharpening a plane blade so took a little practice but this guide makes the process much easier; takes the guess work(for me) out of making sure I'm at the correct angle

The dimensions they give you for chisel protrusion are accurate for proper angle of bevel.

You need three hands to get the blade into this holder at the correct angle.

With 1/4 inch chisels, it is hard to keep tighten, also certain brands of chisels will not tighten up, the shaft is too short for the jaws to get the right angle.

After a little research I decided on the Atlin, even though some posts described issues with clamping blades and finding the right angle

It held my block plane blade securely and at the right angle for sharpening

I had two short shafted older (abused) chisels that I couldn't re-sharpen because the didn't extend far enough to get the correct angle.

It did not work out well, sanded the blade at a horrible angle

Once you figure out how to get the right angle

Works great for keeping the proper angle wile sharpening my chisels
