"...you can use a honing guide to maintain that angle..."

Yeah, but only if you leave the honing guide attached to the blade! =
After you've used the blade, it is impossible to put he blade back into =
the guide exactly how it was previously to just touch up on a fine =
stone. I always have to go back to a coarse stone and establish a new =
angle - however slightly different it may be. Unless, of course, I am =
missing the obvious - which would be no surprise.

  One of the reasons that a system like the Tormek machine works so well =
is that the blade being sharpened is held at a constant angle to the =
stone. If you are hand sharpening, then you can use a honing guide to =
maintain that angle, at least for chisels and pocket knives.=20

  Sharpening by hand, no matter how practiced we may be, is always a =
less successful method.

I want one of these suckers. I could also sharpen my electric planer =

Maybe the next time my shop gets an infusion of cash.......
