How does the blade-registration jig help?
The jig slides onto the guide body and centers and squares the blade with an integral fence.
05M0901 - Veritas Mk.II Standard Honing Guide
The key to consistent and fast honing is repeatability – and this guide delivers it in spades. It will set bevel angles from 15° to 54° and a range of back bevels from 10° to 20°. It can easily accommodate chisels as narrow as 1/2" and blades as wide as 2 7/8" and up to 15/32" thick.
The blade-registration jig slides onto the guide body, centering and squaring the blade with an integral fence. The blade stop has discrete positions for preset bevel angles. It features a three-position eccentric roller, allowing you to hone micro-bevels quickly and accurately with only a turn of a knob.
Manufactured from die-cast zinc alloy, with precision-machined brass and steel parts. For the user, this means quick, accurate sharpening and perfectly repeatable results, reducing unnecessary stone and blade wear.

A micro-bevel is a small secondary bevel added at the very tip of the cutting edge, one to two degrees steeper than the primary bevel. Because only a tiny strip of steel touches the stone, re-honing the edge is quick — you only need to maintain the micro-bevel between full sharpenings. The eccentric roller on this guide creates micro-bevels at three consistent angles with a single knob turn.
Yes, the guide accepts blades from 1/2" to 2 7/8" wide and up to 15/32" thick, which covers most standard bench plane blades and bench chisels.
Yes, the guide is designed for use on flat sharpening stones including water stones (aluminum oxide), ceramic stones and diamond plates. The roller maintains consistent blade-to-stone contact as you work across the stone's surface.
The registration jig includes a blade stop with discrete positions that correspond to common bevel angles. Set the blade projection using the stop, clamp it in the guide and the correct angle is established.
