I am apparently missing something.

The paperstone base is 1-1/4" thick and the mounting screws are 1-1/2" long overall (1-3/8" thread length-excludes the flat, countersink screw head). If I add the washer (metal/rubber) as I originally asked about, there is not enough male screw thread protruding from the top of the paperstone base to be able to engage the sharpener base female thread.

Surely I am doing something incorrectly.

Sorry to be such a bother, but...

Thank you.


If you push the screws through the washers, then the base and they stick out enough to get a little thread engagement with the sharpener base, then that should be enough because the washers will compress quite a bit and then you'll have plenty of thread engagement. Please let me know if that works. Otherwise, we might have sent the wrong screws.

I pulled my screw out and measured... it's 1 1/2 in. long, so I think you got the right screws.

Here's a photo of how it looks on the bottom of the base....
