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

Bought one and roller stopped turning freely. Result: roller scrapes on stone. This wears the stone and the roller. I tried cleaning and oiling the seized roller but nothing would free it up. I even tried to manually rotate it with pliers after oiling. No luck.Replaced it.New one working fine so far...Not aware of alternative options at this price point but I will look for better quality next time around.I have used on planer blade twice and 1 chisel. It worked fine.

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.

Just what I needed for having sharper chisels this works great on maintaining the correct alignment and angle the sturdiness of the cast iron is a plus, Will need a little tweaking of the unit to fit properly on the chisel set I have and with file can be done easily overall a great product.

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.

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 bought this as a last ditch effort to avoid dropping the big bucks on a Veritas honing guide set. When clamping a narrow blade, the sides don't line up exactly, so the blade ends up slightly skewed. I returned this guide.

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.

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.

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.
