New issue with Work Sharp Pro Precision Adjust… Surprised? Here is a solution. https://youtu.be/waWYPiYjnnM This video addresses a new issue with the Work Sharp Professional Precision Adjust sharpener (0:06). The original problem with this sharpener was that the nylon bushings inside the plate carrier would wear out, causing a wobble and resulting in inaccurate sharpening angles (0:40-1:02). The creator previously provided a fix involving replacing these bushings with bronze self-lubricating bushings (1:06-1:21). However, Work Sharp changed the design of the plate carrier, making it impossible to disassemble and replace the bushings yourself (1:29-1:39, 3:31-4:07). Work Sharp now sells replacement plate carriers for $25-$32, which the creator views as a way to force repurchases rather than fixing the underlying problem (1:42-2:00, 4:14-4:22). The creator then presents a new solution (5:42-5:44) that allows users to fix the plate holder despite the new design. This solution involves: • Using the same bronze self-lubricating bushings (5:47-5:49) • Collating them in a heat shrink tubing (5:52-5:55) • Adding a compression spring (6:39-6:42) and electrical conduit grommets (6:46-6:50) The video details the step-by-step process of implementing this fix (7:17-12:15). After the modification, the wobble in the plate carrier is eliminated (13:14-13:26), though it does require a bit more force to move the plate holder on the rod (12:45-12:57).
