I love my sharp maker and I am getting great results however the rods do wobble in the base some they do settle when pressure is applied but is it something to worry about?
There is a bit of play in the slots, its normal. You could put a rubber band around the top of the stones, it will bring the angle down a touch and stop the rods from moving.

when they're settled they sit at 15/20 degrees, if you pinch them they pinch to 13 and 17 degrees..... When I used to use the sharpmaker, I would use it at 17 or 13 degrees

Hi Travis,
Got to respectfully disagree with you on this one. I am talking about just a hair of pressure, just enough to prevent wobble. Never seen even the slightest hint of stress to the edge, verified using my 30 power loupe. Now if you really laid into the sideways pressure, I am with you all the way.
Cheers...
The wobble isn't really an issue but I would like to see a new system come out that is deeper (so rods can sit in further and remove play) and has more storage for the other sharpening stones.
