No, they need the glass under them. Look at the lapidary machine I posted, it has almost the same setup as a WS3000 when the glass plate is on. Now there are thick lapidary plates BUT they are much more expensive, these are used on different machines without a built-in plate I have no idea if they will work on a WS3000.
I understand it is a leap of faith but only a $10 one. Also, keep in mind this is a sharpening discussion on the powertool sub-forum so you are less likely to get replies from people for whom sharpening is a religion or at least a hobby within a hobby. Most of them won't have much use for a WS3000 to begin with.
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
