tool edge. If the cutting edge on your tool is not perfectly square after
sharpening, you can adjust the Skew Cam on the Sharpening Port to
return the Port to square. (NOTE: The Skew Cam adjustment is not
designed to create or restore a skew chisel bevel edge. It is designed to
allow adjustment of the Sharpening Port to ensure square bevel edges.)
To do so, follow these simple steps:
STEP 1. Remove Glass Wheel from unit.
STEP 2. Locate Skew Cam Adjustment Lever and Scew Cam Set Screw
on right side of Sharpening Port.
STEP 3. Loosen Skew Cam Set Screw, do not remove.

STEP 4. Adjust Skew Cam Adjustment Lever according to amount of
skew desired.
STEP 5. Carefully hand tighten the Skew Cam Set Screw. Do not over-
tighten, as you may damage the thread surface in the top housing
casting.
STEP 6. Sharpen your tool and measure for squareness. Adjust again
as desired.
Problem
Not sharpening entire bevel face
Solutions
•
Not sharpening to the same bevel angle previously sharpened onto
tool.
•
Sharpening not complete yet. Use coarse grit for fast material re-
moval.
•
Tool being sharpened is not completely flat on the heat sink during
sharpening.
•
Sharpening port fence is not snug against tool, which allows tool to
skew in port.
Problem
Excessive heat build-up
Solutions
•
Leaving tool in sharpening port against abrasive disk too long.
•
Applying too much load pressure against abrasive disk during sharp-
ening.
•
Abrasive needs to be cleaned or replaced.
•
Smaller tools should be sharpened on the left side of port using light
pressure and less sharpening time.

Problem
Micro bevel on heel of bevel, not cutting edge
Solution
Wrong angle selected for micro bevel. You must micro bevel to a steeper
(larger) angle than your primary bevel to achieve a micro bevel. Ex-
ample, if you sharpened your chisel to a 25° bevel and attempted to
micro bevel at 20°, you will grind the heel of the bevel edge, not the
cutting edge. Reference micro bevel detail on page 12.
Problem
Sharpening Port fence feels too tight
Solution
The sharpening port fence is tight by design to prevent fence deflection.
However, sharpening debris may contaminate the port fence thread
surface and create excessive friction during use. Clean the exposed
thread surface with a soft brush to remove any grit or contamination.
If excessive friction still occurs, use only a small amount of oil or syn-
thetic lubricant spray to lubricate the thread surface. Do not over apply
any lubricant since it will only collect more sharpening debris and can
lead to premature thread wear.
Problem
Cannot get sharpening grit pattern removed from tool
Solutions
•
You have skipped an abrasive grit in the sharpening process. Use
each grit provided for best results.
•
You have not spent enough time on each grit during sharpening. En-
sure all grind marks from previous grit have been removed before
proceeding to the next finer grit.
•
Abrasive needs to be cleaned or replaced.
Problem
Sharpening takes excessively long time
Solutions
•
PSA Abrasive needs to be cleaned with the Crepe Stick or replaced.
•
Tool being sharpened is excessively damaged and should be re-
ground or re-shaped using P120 Abrasive.
Problem
Excessive vibration
Solutions
•
Glass wheel is damaged. STOP IMMEDIATELY and inspect glass
wheel for damage.
•
Work Sharp unit not placed stably on work bench or work area.
Clamp to work bench with mounting tabs for best performance and
stability.
•
If excessive vibration continues, call a customer service agent for
direction.

Problem
Sharpening Port jumps down under pressure
Solutions
•
Sharpening Port engagement teeth are not properly aligned. See
Angle Selection View Port on right side of tool near Fence Knob to
ensure the proper angle selected is fully engaged.
•
You are applying too much downward force during sharpening. Do
not use excessive force.
•
If condition persists, please call a customer service agent for direc-
tion.
Problem
Tool is not sharp
Solutions
•
Back of tool is not flat at the cutting edge.
•
Bevel has not been sharpened all the way to the cutting edge.
•
Burr has been created at cutting edge. Follow repeated 'plunge and
pull' method for best results.
