I'm in the process of rearranging my shop. I use the Oneway Wolverine sharpening jig on my grinder. I'd like to move the grinder closer to a wall. Now the "Vee-Arm" sticks out about a foot behind the grinder which limits how close I can put it to the wall.

Is there any downside to just cutting off most of that extra extension? For how I use it now, I can't think of any. But I wonder if I'm missing something or if there are other uses I haven't thought of. Now I only use the Vee Arm with the vari-grind attachment for gouges. I sharpen spindle roughing gouges and skews and bottom-of-the-bowl traditional gouge grinds on my platform.

I'd appreciate hearing what people think or if others have done this.
