If you have the rail just bolt it on and see if you can dial it to "zero" reading with a DTI. You may still have to grind it.
When you do that you need to relieve the back of the wheel except for a 1 to 1.5mm wide band at the very edge of the wheel with a diamond dresser or Boron Carbide stick. Paint the rail edge with Dykem or black marker. Then you VERY lightly side grind the rail to clean. And never touch it again except to maybe pass a stone over it to check for burrs. I just leave mine on all the time.
