Episode #1. Did Work Sharp stop $3 short of Professional level? Is it really PRECISION Adjust-able?
4-5 months of moderate to heavy use has brought me to realisation that some shortcuts were taken in order to keep the price of this sharpener - Worksharp Pro PA - in check. The funny part is that for less than $3.00 YOU can take it a huge notch up. Eliminating slop, rocking, and rolling in this machine is as easy as removing 6 screws, swapping bushings, and placing 2 zip-ties on the plastic components. I kid you Update!
Update! Work Sharp is now shipping units with screw-less plate carrier. I haven’t had a chance to play with one to find out if it’s possible to replace the bushings in these. So! Don’t buy the bushings until you receive the sharpener! You won’t need them for at least 3 months anyway!
