The Veritas
®
Narrow-Blade Head is designed to hold narrow blades square to
the standard Mk.II honing guide, and works with the straight roller base and
angle registration jig.
To install the narrow-blade carrier, unfasten the standard blade carrier from
the straight roller base. Position the narrow-blade carrier on the roller base
and secure it to the roller base with the locking knob and washer, as shown
in
Figure 2
, aligning it to position П (yellow) or Р (green) as necessary
for the desired bevel angle. (Position О is not available in the chisel honing
confi guration.) In general, position П (yellow) will accommodate the typical
range of chisel bevels.
The narrow-blade carrier can accommodate chisel blades as narrow as
1
/
8
Й
and as wide as 1

/
