I find it easiest to be able to look directly down the blade while working.

I like to grind bevels while seated so I can lock my elbows against my sides.
Every one has their own preference. Find yours.

You can set it to do dovetail bolsters,to grind small angle for tapered tangs,you may have to grind a smallamout of metal off the work rest to get the work rest aas close to the belt as possible.
