Yes, I used one for my lathe bed mounted toolpost grinder wheel dressing assembly. The nice thing is shank is just plain steel so you can modify it to adapt to different tools. I think I'm going to make a holder like Johns for bench grinder wheels. My grinder table sucks so that upgrade will precede it, then I will have a nice datum edge to run it along. The diamond itself is just a teeny thing, but it cuts effectively. Keep your vacuum handy. LOL
