I would be VERY cautious about doing it that way!
In making it I found that it does not easily grip on a magnetic chuck and needed to be on a magnetic transfer parallel and blocked in too. Another thing I found on the surface grinder is that it is a very soft steel in the annealed state and susceptible to "hogging in" with the wheel. If the guy doesn't have the right tooling, experience and grinding know-how, that part will be trashed in a flash.
