The worksharp does not have a nickel plated rod so the bearing’s steel balls will dig into the rod and ruin it.

Do you have to keep the linear bearing to use with the work sharp?

Thanks.

No, you don't need the bearing version if you prefer not to have bearings. You can either use the plain tube version, or even better - use the Leading Edge stone holder for the Professional precision adjust. Link below:

The stock stone holder that comes with the Hapstone RS has quite a bit of vertical play when your stone is further down the guide rod which affects the angle and makes it so u can’t use the entire stone to sharpen your blade and basically limits you to half of the stone before the angle starts changing in the middle of each stroke. Super annoying! Does this new stone holder eliminate that vertical movement when the stone is further down the guide rod? That way u can actually use your entire stone without screwing up your angle.

It is better than the original one, but will still have a little flex. Due to the design and short length of the Pro Precision Adjust steel rod for the stone holder, when the end of the rod is more than halfway through a stone holder, the flex will be more pronounced. If work sharp had a longer stone holder rod, this would have been better.

Unfortunately Hapstone does not appear to have solved this problem yet. With this new version you will still need to be careful not to over tighten the set screws holding the spring stopper in place.

It has an internal linear bearing with a smoother action. Both work equally well but this is Hapstone's latest upgrade for the RS system.
