The arms do come lose I’ve gotta retighten each at least once per sharpening. I’m going to upgrade them. They wobble back and Goeth on the bar and I think that causes the thumb screws to back out. So I’ll be ordering them soon.
Is it possible that I could be pushing to hard when using the stones. I just did a knife for a buddy 23dps and it’s the smallest bevel I’ve ever done. I lightened up to just the weight of the stone and did it
I will get ahold of them. I know to call not email.. it’s crazy the knobs you tighten down for the angle adjustment come lose and the bracket that slides along the angle bar wiggles back and forth. There’s been a couple times that the whole angle rod comes completely lose and backs all the way out to 30 degrees.
Also I have the we100 with old style arms. I’ve noticed I can’t get the set screws for angle adjustment to stay put. I’ve got a lot of slop and play with it. Could that be part of the problem? I bought this unit brand new in March.
My bevels are coming out even. I get a burr on both sides and also use the same amount of strokes on each side. I’ll post pictures when it gets light out of my Chaves.
