RAM-PRO Honing Guide for Chisel Edge Sharpening - Planer Blade Jig

I am very pleased with the purchase of this honing guide. I have wanted one for years and when I purchased a Stanley 45 combination plane, there were many chisel type blades to be sharpened. Using diamond stones, I have had good results getting the right angle sharpened with the help of the honing guide. Once the blades are sharpened it will be a quick process to use the guide and restore the blade edge. For the price, I don't think you will be disappointed with the honing guide.

This little guide is a great buy. It does exactly what the makers claim it does. It is very easy to set up the chisel or plane blade in the guide. It appears to be very well made, and will likely be a fixture in my shop for years to come.

I bought this along with some sandpaper to sharpen a set of chisels.I was able to sharpen them, and they work great now. So that's a big success.My one complaint about this is that the chisels didn't quite fit in the slot. I was able to make it work with just a little effort, but I had expected the groove in the guide to perfectly fit a chisel. Maybe I have unusual shaped chisels or maybe it's a design flaw, who knows? Anyway, I was worried the whole time that the chisel would move, and the edge would be ruined, but that never happened.This one works well, but if I were replacing it, I'd try on with a slightly different design to see if it fits better.

Great shipping, found very easy to use , markings are not stamped very well for degree of chisel settings but are legible, once set to your angle it held very well and made short work of getting my plain irons and chisels scary sharp , nice product. Highly recommend.

I bought this with the expectation that I could use it to sharpen both my plane irons and chisels. It works OK for the plane irons, but does not work well on my chisels. The problem is the angled grooves that are supposed to hold the edges of the chisel are too short to keep the chisel aligned properly.

Works great to sharpen your old dull chisels. Use this tool with some stones and you can get your chisels scary sharp.

This product was a life saver for me. I bought this to hold my plane iron at a set angle, and it did just that. The guide moves fluidly without binding, and hold the workpiece sturdily. Great product, and well worth buying.

It's not a $100 tool and won't perform like one. It doesn't hold chisels particularly well, which is well-covered by the other reviewers. It also loosens itself with vibration, so check the screw periodically. Chisels are easier (for me) to feel what is against the stone, and I do them freehand. Plane irons are a different story, and it handles those quite well.
