Nice demonstration, thanks.

Thank you for the demo.

Thank you, this was the only place that I could find the maximum capacity of the jig of 2 3/4 inches! I have some wide plane irons! Gr8 work btw.

Thank you for the detailed video.

[@robertmunguia250]

Nice! That guide fits on Viel sander table rest to also grind with a belt. Very useful.

Hi, thanks a really good video and I might just get one.

Dear Justin, many thanks for that demo! One question for me is open: There are three ways to move the jig in the toolrest: (1) towards the grinder wheel (tool would be flat on front part of toolrest) and then there are some mm the bigger groove of the rest allows to move the slightly smaller jig forward, (2) left and right, (3) you can tilt towards or away from the grinder wheel. When you set the angle chisel vs. wheel you make (3)? I. e. you tilt the jig towards you when aligning to the wheel so you can exert pressure when the grinder runs? Hope I could make my point. Thanks in advance Christian

Thanks very much Justin. Question; what is the distance you have set between the base of the grinder and the base of the jig?

[@BenLowery]

That's not quite how you use the angle setter. You want a spot half the thickness of the blade to touch the wheel. You can gauge the thickness using the lines in the angle finder.

Just got mine. Seems it doesn't pork well if the chisels are too short. I've got a 3" chisel and I've to figure it out.

[@jutoku4379]

This jig will work for thin plane blades and long chisels with a very long shank,. The tool guide and slot are set back too far to toward the bottom to allow for many short handled chisels. Stanley standard and Japanese chisels are shorter and the blades are not able to get close enough to the wheel to be of any uses. The problem is they designed the stand this way as the track is set back near the bottom of the platform. I purchased a similar guide with a track that is much higher on the jig base and allows the moveable guide to grip my tools and reach the wheel of my grinder. It would be better if Veritas advertised this jig for use with chisels with long shanks.

I have a 6" grinder. Had trouble with concave spots when I was setting primary bevel on old garage/flea market chisels. Ended up using 60 grit Emory flat on a stone to get it for honing. Way to much work.

[@andrezejbudenski2411]

I have some inexpensive chisels and a small Stanley finish planer, all with short blade lengths, that don't touch both stops on the jig to keep it square (perpendicular to the wheel). Free hand isn't accurate. Does anyone have a work-around for those?

[@paulcastro1361]

Nice video. It covers just about all aspects of its use.

[@WalterRiggs]

Now show us how to get the temper back in the corner of that chisel.

For what it is, it's not worth the money £3.00 with of material behave will you £15.00 and that's being generous
