Though developed to cope with short and narrow bladed chisels or plane irons it can easily be used with standard size chisels as well. The guide has a capacity of 0" to 1". Depending on the bevel required, blades can be clamped above or below the stainless steel positioning rods. The solid brass bobbins and Earlite (TM) rollers are turned to within + or - .001" then assembled in matched pairs to assure an extremely high level of accuracy. A pair of polycarbonate washers are enclosed in the guide to deal with non-parallel chisels. In our opinion the most beautiful and best made of it's kind. England
Note: For blades wider than 1" we recommend Kell's Extra Wide Honing Guide (#41976). For skewed chisels and plain irons we recommend Kell's Skewed Blade Guide (#41978).
