Inspired by recent article, I have finally built a lite version of it.

It attaches right to the tooling arm of your KMG or Bader-like
grinder - via 1/2" tapped holes. I made 3, spaced by 2", but in
reality, even when switching between my 12", 8", 5", 4", 2"
CWs and flat platen, only one position is used.
The contraption has 3 flex points, so you can always adjust it
to your liking. Best way to go about it is to loosen the 1/2" bolts
a bit and lift/lower push/pull the thing till you like it and then you
tighten it up .
It is extremely sturdy and is overbuilt by 2x margin, me trademark
sign :jerkit:
I milled the surfaces where joints are, but it is not required.
