>Does anyone have a fool proof method of adjusting the tool rest on a vertical grinder?

I use the old Delta rest which tilts, moves in and out, and has a screw adjustment to make fine changes to the tool extension. Seems like there should be an easy way to calculate what's what instead of try-and-adjust.

thanks

>Is wheel wear. As the wheel wears down, the angle of presentation changes and must be adjusted. I use some scraps of plywood cut at common angles to help me adjust things.
