I just sharpened all my plane irons and an old chisel with this jig on sandpaper (180, 220 then 600) on my table saw cast iron top. This sharpening jig works fantastic! Excellent quality for the price, smooth roller bearings and nice clamping arrangement - very easy to use. It is fully-stable on the roller so not really possible to crown a plane iron, but that was expected. It restored the irons and chisel to perfectly square, straight cutting edge. I did straight bevels (35, 30 and 25 degrees) on most, and tried a micro bevel on one just for fun - super easy to move the angle gauge block back a bit and a couple swipes on fine grit!

These were perfect for sharpening chisels. I was having a hard time keeping them at the correct angle but these keep the just right. Easy to set up and use and they do an awesome job.

I bought this because I was having a heck of a time getting an new inexpensive block plane properly sharpened by hand.. The kid is easy to set up and quite accurate.. I don't think I ever would've been able to sharpen this properly by hand because having the guide showed me just how badly the blade was manufactured from the factory. I never would've spent the time required to sharpen the blade, as I never would've suspected it was as bad as it was. (out of the bike. I don't think this plane would've cut hard cheese, let alone any kind of wood.).A fair bit of sharpening later, with the guide to show me that I was going in absolutely the right direction. The cheap plane is now quite decent and able to take nice curls off of hardwood with little effort.Definitely good value for the money here.I did also want to respond to another review I saw which almost made me not buy this product. One reviewer was complaining about the "chrone" coming off the roller fairly quickly.THERE iS NO CHROME! The roller is a nice heavy piece of polished stainless steel with nice smooth bearings. But due to the nature of how this product is intended to be used that polished stainless roller is going to be rolling over the sharpening stone or diamond plate that's used to sharpen the blade . Naturally, running the roller over a coarse surface intended to a abrade metal, is going to dull that factory polished surface. It has zero effect on functionality, and it's just a consequence of the way the sharpening guide is supposed to work..Overall entirely satisfied with this purchase, and glad to have it as part of my sharpening kit.

This is a good tool: no questions about the quality of the work performed. However, some parts of this tool are of poor quality (see photos). The screw (pin - handle) arrived already damaged (photo 2). The movable shaft lost its "chrome" coating after the first use (photo 1).

I actually wanted to make this review b/c of my positive experience with this sharpening guide. Having sharpened enough blades in my past to know that I can't get a consistent edge by hand, or one that is not rounded over, this solves that by measuring the distance I need and locking it in. The roller is nice and wide and makes it smooth and easy and even fun depending on your stone. The only issue is that it does not lock down on short planes ... to measure 30 degrees, the short blade is moved forward so the guide is only holding the blade by the front, which means it may move when sharpening. But then again the mini block plane is may more of an emergency plane, unlike a #4 or 5. So even though its a problem I did not deduct a star b/c you should know that going in and this works so well!

Wow, haven't used it yet, but machining is fantastic. The adjuster for blade width is buttery smooth! Much larger than I anticipated which is not a problem at all. Very substantial.

Great sharpener. Easy to setup and use. It has gotten my chisels and planes sharper than new.
