Usually grinders that type cant do straight grind because plate uder belt is so thin and is bending easly .
On the left side you can see grind without plate . You can see that center grind is lower than grind on the sides . On right side grind is pretty straight because i add 3 mm plate under belt , ( i know , i know it isn't so good bevel line but this is one of my first grinds done with jig )

I add also a plastic container for water under grinder , that container collect some dust and sparks .
