Baitaihem Stainless Steel Honing Guide, Fits Planer Width 1.4" To 3.1", Chisel Blades Width 0.35" To 2.1"

This system works really well. I am getting my chisels and planes sharper than ever before, and I have restored a few that I has previously thought were lost causes.

I’ve always sharpened chisels by hand, but I have some that I haven’t used in a while and needed to sharpen all of them and a couple had some chips along the edge so it would’ve taken me forever. I’ve never used a sharpening guide before, but decided to search for one on Amazon. I saw a few others that were quite a bit more expensive and I didn’t want to spend that much at the moment so I decided to try this one for $15. I ordered it Sunday night and it arrived Monday afternoon. When it arrived, I opened the box. The unit came in one piece, except for the little end bolt on the adjustment screw which was loose in the box, and there was a tiny set screw to attach it, but it didn’t come with the correct size Allen wrench to tighten it. I was able to find one in my garage, but if I didn’t have it, I would’ve been out of luck. Once I found the correct Allen key, I was able to put it together. I recommend that you put a drop of blue Loctite on the set screw before you tighten it or it will probably come loose every time you use it. Also, there are two “E” clips that hold the bearing in place and they were too tight so the bearing didn’t roll. With a small screwdriver I was able to remove one E clip and put it back on leaving a little more space. Now the bearing rolls smoothly. I will say this product is straight out of China. Even the writing on the box is in Chinese. So the quality control is lacking, but as they say, you get what you pay for. But with a couple minor modifications, it seems like a pretty well-made, durable tool, and it works well. It puts a nice square edge on your chisels without having to maintain the angle by eye. If you want something, that’s good to go right out of the box, I would buy one of the more expensive versions of this tool, but if you’re looking to save money and don’t mind making a couple “adjustments”, then this is the way to go.

Es excelente, sirve con varios trabajos y tamaños, después de utilizar con la piedra de afilar, la hoja del cepillo, quedó totalmente y perfectamente afilada. Es una guía excelente y muy buena calidad. Muy recomendado.

I picked this out to refinish the edge on several Stanley planes that I acquired from my grandfather. I was able to use my diamond homes to put a perfect edge on those old blades. My new / old planes are able to make perfect curly q cuttings. Recommend this to anyone that needs help honing cutting tools.

I had not used one of these jigs to sharpen any tool in the past - what a great idea! The only issue is that when attached to a blade you will need a fairly long sharpening stone. At least 8 inches to work.

I’ve used these guides for years to sharpen my chisels and hand plane blades. Keeps perfect angle, allows me to keep my tools sharp and true. I’m a career cabinet maker and woodworker of 27 years, so I live by my tools.

Provided me exactly what I needed to bring an old neglected framing chisel back to life. Handled the 2 inch width with no problem. Roller and stainless steel hardware furniture of the tool makes it excellent for working with a true wet stone using water.

I received the item this afternoon and since I was using a chisel when it arrived I figured it would be a good time to check it out. Starting out with a medium diamond sharpener I set the chisel up to begin honing the main bevel. After a few strokes I took a look at the chisel and noticed that it was honing on a skew. Upon investigation I saw that one of the jaws that holds the tool was noticeably higher than the other ensuring that it would certainly always sharpen on a skew unless you intentionally compensated for that. Too bad. It's such a simple concept, but execution failed. I'll be returning it tomorrow.

Machining not complete. Casted and steel very good quality Similar type used in shifting spanners (chrome vanadium) Casted parts of mechanism could not be aligned. I spent many hours filing parts to align both the plane and chisel clamps. Slide guides out by 0.4mm making clamping not square. I should sent it back for a refund.

No instructions or guides provided so if you don’t know what you’re doing, hard to know what angle you’re grinding at. Needs some modification to be square.
