Support for Work Sharp Precision Adjust Telescoping Vice, Brace for Mounting Arm, Knife Sharpener, Blue (WSS-01)

It fits perfectly with my work sharp unit and takes the small amount of wobble in the blade holder

It does what it says it’s supposed to. A little tight to get in underneath the clamp. Knurling very good so it’s easy to adjust. Be careful not to apply too much pressure, I can see how you can overcompensate and push the clamp upward. One nice little 3D printed tool.

FIXES THE FATAL FLAW THAT WORKSHARP MISSED YEARS AGO. THATS THE REASON '''''METAL''''' IS THE WAY TO GO, WITH PRECISION EQUIPMENT. PLASTIC SUCKS, BUT THIS PIECE OF PLASTIC FIXES THEIR FLAW. COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW '''FLIMSY'' THIS SHARPENER IS. SOLD MY WICKED EDGE GEN 3 PRO, AND WAS LEFT WITH THE ORIGINAL WORKSHARP, I BOUGHT YEARS AGO.

This little brace gets five stars because it is exactly what we mean in engineering when we talk about "elegant" solutions. It addresses a significant issue in a clever, simple way and it doesn't create any new or additional problems. And it's inexpensive, good value for money. For the reviewers reporting that the brace falls out of position: I haven't had the problem, but it looks easy to fix if you do. A dab or two of double-sided tape would surely take care of it. Threads too loose? I don't have that problem. When the brace is extended to a snug fit between clamp and WSPA base, the increased friction from compression prevents counter-rotation of the two parts. I can see how that could happen, of course. If it did, I'd just wrap tape bridging the two pieces of the brace. Easy to do, easy to change. I think the reviewer who said that s/he could get equal results without the brace is probably right. Most of us who have been sharpening for a while can get an acceptable edge for rough work freehand, using a sidewalk as a whetstone (pleased don't do that with good knives!). A little flex in the clamp might be no big deal for many sharpeners. There is no question, though, that this little brace makes accuracy and consistent pressure easier to achieve. It's simple physics. If the clamp isn't flexing and the knife isn't twisting and bouncing it's pretty much automatic that accuracy and consistency will improve. OK, obviously I really like this little gadget. And it's delivered quickly for eight bucks! Heckuva deal.

I get that it’s 3D printed, but I wish the tolerances of the threads were a little tighter so that the height didn’t change so easily. I found the height my WPSA needed to be the same angle on both sides, then I wrapped some teflon tape around the threads so the threads don’t advance so easily. Other than that, the 2 I’ve bought have broken at the base of the threads. However, I’ve dropped them probably 30+ times from 3ft so I’m not surprised. I’m not particularly easy on them so I can’t complain at all about the durability.

Muy bueno

Best accessory hands down it stabilizes the work piece to make sharpening easy to reproduce and a more accurate you can sharpen items the sharper the become

I give this a higher review than the sharpener. Sharpener is kinda rubbish without it. Quite a bit less rubbish with it in place. No issues. Very easy to use. Be mindful, working under the edge, but.. all in all, very good. Make sure you use an inclinometer. This may alter your angle readings.

Exxxcy for what it is. Look at neevesknives, outdoorsy, worksharp push or pull, there are a number of great sites. It can be quite rabbit hole. Have fun , patience and you will get a great result.
