Veritas - Honing Guide Review
The FasTTrak honing guide is best used with the complete FasTTrak system.With the FasTTrak, you can achieve a 3° secondary bevel by honing first with the 27° roller, then switching to the 30° roller. The guide holds blades securely and perpendicular to the stone, and rolls smoothly. Unfortunately, the wide carriage has sharp edges and protruding attachments that make the FasTTrak cumbersome to use. Also, the guide is a bit tippy, especially when honing chisels. I would purchase the FasTTrak honing guide only if I planned to use the complete FasTTrak system, which allows you to go directly from grinding on a wheel to honing on a stone with one setup.
