Today at the Greensboro lunch I brought up how my Worksharp does not create a square bevel when using the built in "sharpening port" underneath the spinning disc. We talked about it some and a comment that "somebody has probably figured out a solution for that" was mentioned. I figured I might as well do a google search and see, I had pretty much given up on the Worksharp giving me the results that I wanted because of this issue. My plan was to use the Worksharp followed by stones and a honing guide. The difference in the squareness of the bevel between the honing guide and the worksharp makes it so I still have to remove a lot of steel with the stones which is the very thing I was trying to avoid.
Well, it seems this is a very common problem. Additionally Worksharp has a built in solution that is outlined in the manual. It is the very first item under "Troubleshooting".
It's a good thing I was able to find this on Google otherwise I never would have known about this adjustment, because you know, I don't need to read no stinkin' manuals!
Now that I think about it, I think I may have messed with that skew lever at some point when I was trying to figure out how to change the primary bevel angle of the port.
