CalCapp Help Please

When I put together my paper wheel setup, I couldn't use the exact distance of USB base to arbor center that is on the T8, because the grinder base was in the way.  Does that preclude my ability to use CalCapp to figure out top of USB to wheel surface calculation?

No... if you measure directly to the wheel to set the USB height, the horizontal (and vertical) distance doesn't factor in.

Thank you. Just what I needed to know. I thought I really blew it.
