Thread: Another "how do I do this" - tool grinder table

Gday All.
I have a tool grinder (Not a T&C) which I recently made a jig for sharpening chisels for. The tool grinder is a Chinese one that I inherited from my Dad some time ago.
The table can be angled in relation to the face of the wheel, and it can also be moved on the "protractor brackets" (for want of another name).
What I am trying to work out is how I can set the table up (easily repeatable) so the guide slot in the table is parallel to a horizontal line though the centre of the wheel. The table is at about 30 deg from vertical.

In the first pic I have set the table at a sever angle to show how much movement I have.
I didn't think it would matter that much but I have discovered that it does with my grinding jig
As just about everything is rough cast I cant find a suitable datum. The answer is probably staring me in the face but I cant see it.
So any suggestions?

thanks
Peter
