Setting Other Angles
The blade stop on the Veritas
®
Mk.II Honing Guide’s registration jig has discrete
positions for preset bevel angles, providing quick, accurate sharpening and perfectly
repeatable results. The registration jig not only squares the blade in the carrier, but
also sets the appropriate blade projection for the desired bevel angle. The angles
specifi cally marked on the jig represent the most common blade angles you will
encounter on manufactured chisels and plane blades. But that doesn’t mean the
honing guide can’t handle other angles. On the contrary, by mixing confi gurations
and settings, the honing guide can yield just about any bevel angle.
Table 1
indicates the bevel angle that each registration stop will achieve in each of
the three confi gurations (standard angle, high angle and back-bevel angle).
