Compact Chisel Sharpening Jig

thingiverse

I updated both the STLs and the pictures to a new version that is slightly shorter and features a cutout for chisel handles at the back. My chisel set was quite dull when I bought them, and they needed sharpening after just a couple of projects. I designed this compact chisel sharpening jig to get a consistent angle when I sharpen them. To find the right angle, push the chisel into the clamp until its face is resting flat on your whetstone. I used the Sharpie trick to find the perfect distance (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kzGvtX-h8g). This design will accommodate chisels or hand plane blades up to 2in wide. I included clamps for 1in, 0.75in, and 0.5in chisels. If you need other profiles, make your own using the Blank Clamp .step file. The M4 x 25mm bolts can hold up to 3 clamps for storage as shown in the picture.
