I agree. I'm not happy, but not sure what to expect from them. I do
know that I bought the first honing jig, which "everybody" said was
great and it turned out to be worthless because the blade shifts. Then
I bought this machine, which "everybody" said is great. It has turned
out less than satisfactory. I'm not about to buy the new honing jig.
That's why I made my own.

Think I may have a thought. Go here
http://www.makita.com/assets_product...als/9820-2.pdf and
look at the picture and instructions in the center of page 8. I would
assume that the same would be true for the Veritas, given the similarity.
