    Good one! Tuomas.

    It will be so very handy and dispense with any guesstimation on my part.

    Thank you Grahame.
    I have done manu cuts with it now. Just clamp liner or try square to the plate and cut.

    In my my grinder, distance from the wheel to the the edge of guide, is 24mm.
    When i need 100mm wide cuts, i place guide to distance of 125mm when using 1mm wheels.

    Feels almost too simple and lame.
    It would have been funnier to make something more complicated with moving parts and adjustments. ��

    Thank you.

    This could be easily "stamped" to the guard in manufacturing process... Never know if Wish, Aliexpress or stores like that solds it one day.
