I used it to set my blocks, not that I cared about the actual measurements, just that It replicate the distance of the blade and gave me a straight surface to set my blocks against. BTW there is a slight differences between both honing guide, maybe because my old one has lots of wear on its wheel? If you make one, forget about published measurements, make it for your guide, by setting the angle on a protractor then sliding the blade to it, then used whatever distances it gave you.<br />BobValley Woodworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322487171914484954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1627331616161641107.post-7983581218548921882015-05-21T06:12:16.805-03:002015-05-21T06:12:16.805-03:00Bob what is that black thing with the rectangular ...Bob what is that black thing with the rectangular piece of metal in it.

No more putting off sharpening because it is a "pain".<br /><br />kenI'm a OK guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843155822153452980noreply@blogger.com
