Knife Sharpening Angle Guide for 1 x 30 Belt Sander (Combo Pack - 1 of Each Angle Guide)

With some modification, I am able to sharpen thin/narrow bladed knives by adding a metal plate to extend toward the belt.

I use this on a 1"-42" belt sander and the work perfectly on it even though it is marketed for the 1x30 . Great at helping maintain a consistent grind angle and get a razor sharp result on your sharpening projects.

They're pretty nice.... get a bottle of lock tight. The adjustment screw will vibrate out in short order.....

These "Knife Sharpening Angle Guide for 1 x 30 Belt Sander (Combo Pack - 1 of Each Angle Guide)" fit perfectly on my Harbor Freight Central Machinery cheapo belt grinder. If you're especially concerned about getting an exact degree angle, check it with some other equipment, e.g. angle gauge, protractor, like you would doing any other kind of precision work. For instance if you set one of the guides I got at 10 degrees indicator, it is actually more like 13.65 degrees. So if I needed a 10 degree angle, I'd have to lengthen the slot with a dremmel drill or something. The degree indicators are just stamped into the metal, and not intended to be super accurate. My only other comment would be that they come with some rough edges, that need to be ground smooth, that could scratch the side of your work as you press it against the guide. Buy hey, your standing in front of a grinder right? I couldn't make these for $30 bucks worth of time and they are easily cleaned up to fit my purpose.

Awesome for sharpening and working on knives. Don't trust the angle markings on it though, they are inaccurate. Use a digital protractor/compass.

These jigs are clunky, not very precise or easy to use. Compared to similar offerings this one is the better value if you decide to buy both jigs. I tried them once and quickly decided I could freehand it and get better quicker results.

keeps you from guessing your angles

Work well. Better than I would have thought
