I'm trying to turn down a 3/4" x 26" long 4140 shaft to a diameter

for a follow rest that attaches to or near an Aloris CXA tool post?
The normal follow rest that came with the lathe would be hopeless due
to the offset relative to the tool point. I'm hoping to get within a
2-4 thou and then grind to the final diameter with a Dumore tool post
grinder. Does this seem like a possible scenario?
Here's one:

Looks interesting, but the page is several years old & several of the
photo links are messed up. I sent an email to see if he still exists.

Yeah I saw that one, but didn't like the lack of apparent rigidity,
and not having rollerized work followers.
