No more jitter, shakes, or wobbles! Simple fixes for the original Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite. 

Sorry it took so long to deliver this video! I had to think all of these fixes through, purchase the materials, film, edit… I had fun! Hopefully you’ll enjoy the video and ask many a good question!

I have zero interest in this, but I'm leaving a comment for the algorithm. God speed. 👍👍

Have you tried a KME system? Just curious 👍🏻 great work

Thanks ,your ideals were great,and they all work 💯! Keep up the great work

Just bought the elite package. Thanks for tips, i subscribed, hope it helps.

I got the Pro PA for a few reasons. 1. I really liked the idea. I really liked that it was bigger, longer and wider stones, angle finder, easily replaceable stones as well, heavier is a plus for me, it accepts larger knives too. 2. I really like the versatility of it. It can sharpen almost anything. 3. This was honestly a huge plus to me, square stones. I can actually sharpen into the ricasso of Spydercos and Bucks and other knives with bad or no sharpening choil. The downsides are, and I’m wondering if anyone else is having this issue, is the plastic chassis that holds the rod cracking for anyone else? I’ve gone through three of them. I would love to know if anyone else has had that problem. Also the stones are expensive. That’s all the problems I have with it. Great other than those things.

I did these hacks on my elite and also with my own method I am now getting razor sharp edges with mirror finish. Thanks! Sweep Push+Pull 5 from base to edge x 5 tip to base x 5 base to edge x 5 tip to edge each side then decrement until 1x1x1x1 on each side then repeat for next grit. The higher the grit the more 5x5x5x5 I do, but the rest just once each side.

Great video as always, thank you. Very detailed and optimized solution.

The issue I’ve run into with my pro is the screw that hold the rod onto the crossbar part of the base. I constantly have to tighten it during a sharpening session. Wondering if you ever had that issue? Possibly a fix

👍

You're doing God's work. 🙏🙌 Worksharp should reach out for consulting services! 😂

I think the Worksharp is a great system if you just have a couple of knives, and you want to put a good edge on them from time to time. If you're going to do a lot of sharpening, not so good. Their proprietary plates just don't hold up.

Thanks!

The zip tie trick works really well. It fixes my biggest gripe with the system.

Terrific video, thank you!! I will dig up my sharpener and apply your suggested fixes. I have been looking on Amazon for that specific copper tubing, after adding those 4mm grommets into my card, but am not 100% sure what to get. It seems those pipes come with a 1" diameter. You mentioned the one you used was oversized. Do you happen to have a link for the specific copper pipe that fits the Worksharp?

Duct tape is like The Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it binds the universe together. No man (or handy woman) should be without it

I enjoy all of your videos. Thanks!

Thank you for this video. Do you truly recommend either version of the Worksharp? Have you used any other sharpening systems?

Perhaps I missed it…but what size are the grommets? 4mm? Thanks for the great vid…

I appreciate this video, thanks. FYI I just stick a piece of paper on the side of the clamp when I put the clamp in to take care of side to side play.

Just get a kadet or a hapstone r2 and not have to worry about fixing the issues with the system... or better yet free hand!

Sloppiness of the Lansky next please! 😊

Have both the worksharp sharpeners, and did the modifications in one of your previous videos to the PRO model with great success. Will have to dig out the older model and tune it up. Question about Medford though: I have a Medford Viper (D2 steel) that I believe has a botched heat treat. The tip bent to shit after sticking the knife in an old soft 2x4.. is it even worth contacting their customer service?

I started my journey with the Elite, Then I moved to the professional and now I'm learning freehand sharpening. That is the real ZEN after you kill and restore some of your knives. Hope to see you dealing with stones and making hacks to do a better job

Precisely what I was looking for.

I was looking forward to this video and you did not disappoint Sir, you earned my subscription and my respect 🤘

I wish I was your neighbor, great job !
