I was wondering have you come across the short coming in this jig, when using their sliding jig attachment if you have some older chisels that are shorter they won’t reach the stone because the handle bottoms out against the frame? I have been scouring the internet to find their “homemade” jigs mentioned in the instructions.

Hi Pat,

My bench chisels are the regular sizes and I have not come across the situation you described.
