    This document provides instructions for building an angle setting jig to aid in sharpening plane blades and other tools. It recommends stones, honing guides, measuring tools and oils for sharpening. Diagrams and instructions describe constructing the jig from plywood and hardwood, including attaching stops to set specific blade angles. It also provides tips for finding additional angles using a protractor and setting a microbevel.

    Angle Setting Jig & Accessories

    Build a reference jig to make sharpening easy.

    Recommendations: The tools you should have along with your


    jig include a sharpening stone (Norton 1000/8000 grit stone
    pictured), honing guide, measuring tools (protractor and a thin 6"
    ruler), screwdriver (Lie-Nielsen No.4 Screwdriver pictured) and
    Camellia oil or Jojoba oil for keeping rust at bay after sharpening.
    The Angle Setting Jig

    2 ½"
    Two of our planes (#164, #9I) have a
    Yoke Plate for depth adjustment. The stop
    in the upper left corner is to reposition
    the Yoke Plate for the #164, Low Angle
    Smoothing Plane, after sharpening. Make
    a stop at 3¾" to reposition the #9I Yoke.

    2 1/8"

    1 9/16"
    1 3/16" 13/16" 9/16"

    Materials
    • ½" plywood; 10" x 12" • Twenty ¾" brass screws
    • Hardwood stop material; 3/8" thick, 1" wide, 2" long • Drawer liner (no-skid material)
    • Hardwood cleats for waterstone 3/8" x 5/8" x 6" long pictured on first page.
    • Assemble the board like a bench hook, with a cleat • ⅛" thick shim, 1¼" x 2"
    measuring ½" x ¾" x 10" attached on the bottom • 12" long string
    side, beneath the angle stops.
    Please note: All measurements will achieve approximate angles. In order to achieve the most accurate results
    when constructing your own jig, use a protractor to record exact measurements for each angle.
    Finding the Proper Projection Distance

    Recommendations: If you need additional or different angles, we suggest using a


    protractor to determine the projection distance. Hook your protractor under the edge of
    your jig, and place your blade (while in the honing guide) underneath the straight edge of
    the protractor. Adjust the position of the blade to match the angle of the protractor arm. The
    resulting projection distance gives you the position for the stop.
    Using the Stops to Set the Angle
    Work on the 1000 grit stone at the chosen angle until you feel a
    burr or wire edge on the back of the blade.
    Honing a Microbevel
    Use a ⅛" shim to increase the angle at any stop by approximately
    2º. Example: 35° becomes 37°. A microbevel for the honed edge
    means less effort and less time, on your 8000 grit stone.
