Usual deal...not an auction...
From the Lee Valley page:
...clamps blades up to 8" wide (I've used it with 6"/10") (including hand-plane blades) for sharpening on PSA-backed abrasives. Just stick the abrasive to a flat surface (plate glass works well), adjust the elevating screw until the bevel is flat on the abrasive, and use it as you would any other honing guide. After basic sharpening, switch to a fine abrasive, and hone a fine micro-bevel. Two position stops ensure that successive blades are honed identically. It is both easy and effective, letting you quickly restore blades that you would probably let become far duller before sending out for service.
Made of cast aluminum with brass and steel fittings.
Made in Canada.
I've used it mainly to keep a secondary bevel on outsourced grinder sharpened blades. Still in excellent condition. I'll include the manual (or a copy if I can't find the original). It doesn't include the abrasive film that would be included if bought new, or a surface to sharpen on...it's just the tool.
Price of $75.00 includes postage within Aus.
Thanks.
