John I think you may have misunderstood (or more likely I did not explain clearly) and please accept my appologies

How do you intend to lock it in position?

Brian, I think the dimensions are restrictive and will not get you above center on the grinder wheel - at least not while having the platform close enough. In addition, I also don’t like the two axes movement and adjusting the angle is too cumbersome. I do not own Reed’s rest, but I am familiar with it. It is a quality product that is worth the cost. Keep in mind you will be using the platform a lot and ease of use has significant value. Trying to save a few dollars nearly always comes at a price that, in the end, simply isn’t worth it.
