Mortise Chisel Adapter for Mk II Honing Guide

Veritas Mk.II Honing Guide Mortise Chisel Adapter: Sharp, Accurate Mortise Chisels Every Time

Struggling to hone your mortise chisels because their thick blades won't sit properly in your honing guide? You're not alone. Standard clamping simply wasn't built for the heftier blades a mortise chisel carries, which leaves you fighting for a consistent grip and a reliable angle. This adapter for the Mk.II Honing Guide solves that in one neat move.

It expands your guide's blade-holding capacity, so you can hone thick mortise chisels with the same precision you already trust for your bench chisels. Set it up once, and you'll get sharp, square, repeatable bevels ready for clean, deep mortises.

Key Features

• Expands blade-holding capacity: Purpose-made to hold the thicker blades of mortise chisels, so your Mk.II Honing Guide handles jobs it couldn't before.
• Increased roller-to-carrier space: Adds room between the roller base and the blade carrier, giving those heavier blades the clearance they need for a secure hold.
• Accurate bevel angle: Configured so the angle registration jig delivers the correct bevel in the 30° to 35° range typical of mortise chisels, no guesswork required.
• Narrow head compatible: Works with the narrow blade clamping heads, so your existing setup carries straight over.
• Tough zinc-aluminium alloy: Cast for lasting strength and stability, holding your chisel firmly through every honing stroke.

Main Applications

• Honing mortise chisels to a crisp, consistent edge for clean, accurate mortises.
• Maintaining a razor edge on thicker chisel blades your standard guide can't grip.
• Restoring or re-establishing the correct bevel on well-used mortise chisels.
• Keeping your joinery tools sharp and ready for furniture, cabinetry and fine bench work.

A quick tip: before you clamp up, give the roller and the adapter's contact faces a quick wipe to clear any grinding grit. A clean, snug fit keeps your chisel seated square, so every honing pass lands the exact bevel you're after.
