I got some long bolts that weren't hex head but I super glued nuts to them and that made it work perfectly

Really easy to print and assemble, very useful little tool.

Thanks, that worked well.
Need to tighten some screws and get a second (long) 80mm M6 but looks nice, runs smooth and the STL worked great.
Thanks a lot to @GarageTimeDavid_3790 for the original model!
So cool.It's much cheaper than a bought one and I like it a lot, that I will be able to modify it, if I feel like I have needs that are not meet - or fix it.
Would you please share the updated hardware requirements?
this is from the original:
Required hardware:
- M8 x 20mm hex head bolt (2)
- M8 Nylock nut (2)
- 608 bearing (2)
- ¼-20 x 3in hex head bolt (2)
- ¼-20 nut (2)
Do I get it right that M8s and 608 stay the same. But the last two become M6?
(Also asked at the model you are remixing from - would be great to have it in the model description)
Thanks for sharing your modifications :)

Required hardware:
- M8 x 20mm hex head bolt (2)
- M8 Nylock nut (2)
- 608 bearing (2)
- M6 80mm hex head bolt (2)
- M6 nut (2)
with some considerations:
- M8 x 20mm hex head bolt (2) (the head can be whatever, doesn't need to be hex head)
- M8 Nylock nut (2)
- 608 bearing (2) (this doesn't need to be any special - but if you have options, maybe consider what works best for wet and dusty conditions as the will be in touch with the surface you sharpen with)
- M6 80mm hex head bolt (2) (the head can be something else - but you need to be able to loosen and tighten the bolt with the head - if you choose hex head, you can use the caps form the print and have a good mechanism. The first 36mm are within the body and don't necessary need a thread - as there are two options to put the object you want to sharpen you might get away with the first 50mm without thread.
- M6 nut (2)
Workes great, do you have a parametric model, or a step model of this? I would like to modify it to sharpen chisels with a shorter blade. I have several chisels where I can't make them to the correct angle because they need to be clamped at the tang of the blade.
