Since Worksharp has discontinued the Tool Work Bar and the Wide Blade Attachment Table, we have to fall back on some previous shop designs and workarounds.

A viewer did suggest to use a nut below and above the feet of the unit (instead of washers) to allow for a more precise alignment of the table. That may require some changes to the other height designs.

I bought this plan from Stumpy and modified it a little to suit my needs.
I didn’t need to be able to store 10 different sanding discs, especially for how I use this great sharpener. So I used the unneeded slots for discs and made it a drawer space.

You can buy the plans at www.stumpynubs.com/worksharp-3... It’s only about $10. I thought it was worth it rather than trying to reverse engineer it. Also to give Stumpy some credit for his work.
Stumpy is different, maybe a little too philosophical at times, but he has some great tips, jigs, and projects.
For sharpening techniques see video at Wood Workers Guild of America: www.wwgoa.com/video/sharpening...
I use the techniques in this a lot. One note is that this video shows him sharpening against the rotation of the disc incorrectly as per the products instructions. Looking from the top down, the disc rotates in a counter clockwise direction. The cutting edge should not be pointed into the oncoming disc rotation or it may catch or shave off the abrasive. I know as I did that once. Maybe WWGOA has a reason for their method. Tormek makes a great many sharpening adapters that work with the tool rest of the Worksharp 3000. I really like the adapter for the gouge shown at 05:55.

great adaptation will follow it so knife sharpener can used as well

[@GaryLundgrenCrafts]

Thank you. I had considered buying the knife sharpening attachment for the WS3000. However the reviews were not that good. The Ken Onion knife sharpener (almost 3 times the money of the WS3000 attachment) seemed to offer more and better performance so I went with that and I do like it. Depends on what you already have and budget. Thanks!

I copied Stumpy's and realized as you did that you can't see the sharpening angle with the machine on the left side of the tower. I have been using a dental mirror to read it (it reflects backwards of course). Wish I had seen this first. He has great videos though. Thanks for posting.
