Trend Honing Guide Diamond Stone Tool Sharpening Set, Ensures Accurate Angles and Precise Sharpening, DWS/HG/SET

Happy to finally have a tool that can help me achieve consistent edge on my chisels and hand plane blades. It is well constructed with quality materials and very accurate. The wide roller vs smaller roller makes it easier to keep the tool level while using. Good smooth threads and nice sold weight and feel. Brass tighten knob is heavy duty and solid brass. Works well and easy to align to the right angle. It takes a little getting used to when trying to tighten the item being sharpened as the clamping brackets have a slight internal angle that helps push the blade to the top to make square though can sometimes catch preventing proper alignment. This is not this tool but this design tool that has this issue. It's easy to get it dialed in once you've done it several times. This is the best version of this design to help ensure consistent sharpening. Well done!

Great tool for holding the correct angle for sharpening your chisels and block plane blades. The guide is super easy to use and the tool stays tight while you're working it with just a small turn of a screwdriver.

Overall, superb. However, their design uses a curved edge on one of the clamping sides. While this helps to push the blade in square, it also makes it unusable for short bladed chisels. I have an antique chisel with a blade similar to Japanese chisels and it requires a steeper angle to get it past the apex of the curved clamp.

Good and useful Product.

I wanted something better build quality than the $19 mass produced honing guide. So I splurged and bought this rig. And glad I did! Great machining and proper anodizing which seems to be holding up well. I've had this for over a year and it's served me well so far. I'm happy with it.

I've purchased several cheapo honing guides in an attempt to avoid the cost of the Lie-Nielson guide, and with some work they can function okay. This one is really excellent, much higher quality and the stop block works very well (aluminum, also). Verified the angle is always spot on with a digital angle guide. The blade sits flat, retention is good, works on 1/8in chisels and 2 3/8ths plane blades equally well and doesn't roll side to side. Great product!

I would not buy this again, as it's totally not worth the money. It did OK for plane blades, but not so much for chisles. When setting it up for the correct angle, the chisel does not stay at the 'top' of the 'holder' which throws off the angle while trying to clamp it down. You really have to fenagle it to line it up correctly. For chisels that are 1/2" or less, it's impossible to line the chisel up straight in the guide so you get a secondary bevel that cuts across the blade at an angle. I should have followed my instincts and bought a much cheaper one.

I sharpen freehand but use a guide to re-establish the angles periodically. I had been using the common type with the small wheel, but it’s easy to go sideways on those. I find this design to be far superior and for me, it was definitely worth the money. It works wonderfully.

Satisfacción con la herramienta, la he usado bastante para afilar mis formones con muy buenos resultados.

Facilite l'affûtage de mes ciseaux à bois et lames de rabot. Réglage facile grâce à la cale fournie avec.

Honing guiden är gjord av solid metall och är välkonstruerad. Ett väldigt bra verktyg!

Ich habe die Schleifhilfe jetzt 1 mal benutzt und ich muss sagen sie funktioniert wirklich sehr gut. Durch die breite Laufrolle steht sie beim arbeiten sehr sicher und kippelt nicht. Wie die Haltbarkeit und Robustheit ist kann ich jetzt noch nicht beurteilen aber sie macht grundsätzlich einen stabilen Eindruck.

Great
