Good point! There's an escape hatch for the bolts at 6 o'clock, but getting set up at 11 and 5 should give more stability.Looks fine but I would birl it round so that the bolts are running along the X axis as that should provide more stability to the tool.
That is unusual as that is normally the 0 degree position for bolts on a compound but yes, 11 and 5 would be almost as goodGood point! There's an escape hatch for the bolts at 6 o'clock, but getting set up at 11 and 5 should give more stability.
