Veritas Camber Roller Assembly for Veritas MKII Honing Guide System

$34.90

The Camber Roller Assembly is a precision accessory for the Veritas MKII Honing Guide System that enables controlled, repeatable cambered bevels on plane irons and blades. Whether you’re creating subtle curves for low-angle planes or pronounced camber for smoothing and jack planes, this roller assembly helps you shape consistent, smooth arcs with ease.

Designed for ease of use, the camber roller attaches securely to the honing guide and rolls smoothly over the stone surface as you hone, maintaining even contact across the blade. The result is a beautifully curved bevel that improves chip clearance, reduces catches, and enhances planing action. Ideal for woodworkers seeking refined edge geometry and performance from their bench planes.

  • Works with the Veritas MKII Honing Guide System
  • Enables precise and repeatable cambered bevels
  • Smooth rolling action for consistent edge shaping
  • Ideal for plane irons used in smoothing and jack planes
  • Helps improve chip clearance and planing performance

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Veritas Camber Roller Assembly do?

It replaces the standard roller on the Veritas MKII Honing Guide System so you can hone a controlled, repeatable camber (a gentle curve) onto plane irons instead of a perfectly flat edge.

Which honing guide does it fit?

It is designed specifically for the Veritas MKII Honing Guide System. Pair it with other sharpening accessories to complete your setup.

Why would I want a cambered bevel on a plane iron?

A cambered edge improves chip clearance, reduces catches, and prevents the blade's corners from digging in and leaving track marks. It produces smoother planing action, especially on hand planes used for smoothing.

Which planes benefit most from a cambered iron?

Smoothing planes and jack planes benefit most. A subtle curve works well for low-angle planes, while a more pronounced camber suits jack planes used for heavier stock removal.

How does the roller create a consistent curve?

The camber roller rocks the honing guide slightly from side to side as you hone, applying even pressure across the blade. This produces a smooth, symmetrical arc rather than a flat bevel.

Do I still need sharpening stones to use it?

Yes. The roller guides the blade, but you hone against an abrasive surface such as diamond & water stones to actually shape the edge.

Is this a complete honing guide or just an accessory?

It is an accessory. You need the Veritas MKII Honing Guide System for it to attach to and function.

Can I use it for chisels?

The camber roller is intended for shaping cambered bevels on plane irons and blades. For most chisels you want a flat, square edge, so the standard roller is the better choice there.

Will it work with both subtle and pronounced cambers?

Yes. The assembly lets you create everything from a slight curve for low-angle planes to a pronounced camber for jack and smoothing planes.

Where does this fit in my sharpening setup?

It is one piece of a complete edge-care kit. Browse our full range of sharpening supplies to add stones, guides, and maintenance accessories around it.
