The Veritas Skew Registration Jig locks into the Mk.II honing guide and sets both the skew angle and the bevel angle for skewed chisels and plane blades, left or right hand.
The skew graduations run from 10 to 45 degrees in 5 degree steps, with extra marks at 18, 22 and 28 degrees for popular skew plane blades. The base has four tracks for bevel angles of 20, 25, 30 and 35 degrees, and the guide's eccentric roller adds a micro-bevel. It works with the standard head only, because the narrow-blade head's parallel jaws aren't made for skews. The base is machined aluminum with laser-etched markings.
Leonard Lee founded Lee Valley Tools in Ottawa, Ontario, in 1978. The company began making its own tools in 1982 with the Veritas Dovetail Marker, and Veritas is now its manufacturing arm. Lee Valley is still family-owned, with Robin Lee as CEO.
