Stanley 0-16-050 Stone/Oil & Honing Guide - Multi-Colour

The kit includes a honing guide, an 8" x 2" double-sided aluminum oxide oilstone with medium and fine grits, and a bottle of white oil. The honing guide secures the blade and sets the bevel angle, the oilstone sharpens the edge with two grits, and the white oil lubricates and reduces friction during sharpening.

The honing guide provides preset angles of 25°, 30°, and 35°. It’s suitable for sharpening chisels and plane irons from about 1/4" to 2-3/4" wide (roughly 4 mm to 70 mm).

1) Place the oilstone on a stable surface and apply a light layer of the white oil. 2) Choose the target angle (25°, 30°, or 35°) on the honing guide. 3) Insert and align the blade in the guide’s clamp so the edge sits at the selected angle. 4) Move the blade steadily along the stone, applying light, even pressure. 5) Flip and repeat on the opposite bevel if needed for symmetry. 6) Clean the blade and stone when finished.

The kit includes an 8" x 2" double-sided oilstone with medium and fine grits. A bottle of white oil is included for lubrication; the oil is non-flammable and designed to reduce friction and extend the life of the edge.

Keep the oilstone clean and dry after use, flatten the stone as needed to maintain true surfaces, and reapply a small amount of white oil to the stone before sharpening. Wipe blades clean after sharpening and store the kit in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

The system supports blades from about 4 mm (1/4") up to 70 mm (2-3/4") wide. Very thick or unusually shaped blades may not fit perfectly in the guide, so check your blade width and edge geometry before use.

Yes, the kit is compact and portable. It stores easily in a workshop drawer or tool cabinet, making it convenient for on-site sharpening or transport between jobs.

Work on a stable, non-slip surface. Wear eye protection to guard against chips. Keep fingers clear of the blade edge and maintain steady, controlled movements. Use the white oil as directed to reduce friction and avoid over-wetting the stone. Store the kit away from children and keep the blade edge secured in the guide during use.
