Seems to only be useable for knife sharpening, and like MM, I use my bench grinder for lathe tools and general engineering.

If you find period film of knife sharpeners in Sheffield culery firms, they used very large open stones. No rests, no guards. And they often were run wet. A rotating open stone isn't so dangerous as there is nothing to get trapped against. Stones with rests are actually more dangerous.
