The Cheapest Sharpening Tool Rest/Jig - Shop-made Grinder Tool Rest (Retired)

January 20, 2023 - One idea I've never "fleshed" out completely is having the grinder rotate vertically so one drops down out of the way when the other swings up. I have one mounted to a bench and one mounted to a pipe stand with a cement filled tire rim for the base.

Mount it on some 50mm sq. hardwood then clamp that in the vice when you need it, works a treat. Click to expand... That is what I did for many years with my grinder. Now I just use a Black and Decker workmate to hold the grinder ... Thanks all for the ideas.

March 15, 2019 - My ability isn’t great, but practice makes perfect and the process highlighted some minor issues with my original idea. I picked up an 8 foot 2×8 and started cutting out a basic stand. The very bottom is a 2×12 bit of scrap I had that was about the right size. I screwed it all together and placed a long section of 2×8 on top to hold the grinder and an adjustable tool rest.

December 8, 2017 - To help keep the grinder from shifting, I drove small screws around the base: The bottom of the stand has four pull out bins for storage, and I made this from 1/2″; spruce plywood.

February 12, 2013 - I’m in the middle of building my own wooden stand for my two grinders. I like your foot pad better than my idea (a thick sheet of plywood that would have rocked). However, I was uncertain of the final height I would want so I have my 4X4 main post (attached to the platform) sandwiched between two 2X4 (attached to the base). I can slide it up and down and insert the shear bolts to fix it at whatever height I drill holes for. Mark Bauer Colleyville, TX ... Photo here of my bench grinder stand with the adjustable 4X4 post sandwiched between two 2X4’s.

looking for ideas for building a bench grinder stand, something that takes up very little space and can be moved around without a lot of effort but stable at the same time what have you built ?

So I came up with the idea to flip the mounting surface to store the unused grinder below the in-use one, and to put them on a lightweight stand with an open flat base with foot pads to hold it steady if necessary during use. The front edge is flat so that the wheels are off the ground during grinder use, but come down to a wide stance when… ...

October 30, 2020 - I have mine secured on a 4 wheel bench, sorta similar to the left side image. This way I can roll it outside if the weather is decent so I don't have all the grinding dust in the shop. I like the truck wheel idea as well. But since you're putting it in the basement, the corner shelf is probably what I would do.

December 20, 2010 - Need Grinder Stand Ideas Fabrication

March 15, 2009 - Well I finally got around to building a bench grinder stand today to mount the grinder that Brink and I picked up last summer at a garage sale. I built the stand as a 'receiver' style so I can use the grinder mount portion with the workbench as I plan to install receivers on each end for the...

March 25, 2007 - Grinder Stand I started with a metal stand from a hardware store. I found that too low. Finally I found an old piece of cabinet, 1940s style stereo I think. The grinder is at a good height for me. Mounted my bench top drill press on the metal stand. I mounted my grinder on a piece of kitchen cabinet formica that was a sink cut out.

March 11, 2018 - I have been dabbling with this idea for 2 years and just decided to do it a few weeks ago. Ive got the scrap so why not..... It isn't pretty :emb:but...

October 16, 2017 - Instead, I decided to build a single, slightly-larger, grinder stand, and mount all 3 bench grinders on it. The idea is to rotate the stand to access the desired grinder (which is the same one most of the time).

February 20, 2012 - Hi Guys, I have a 8" and a 6" grinder, also a 4" belt sander, It's time to get them off my bench, taking up a lot of valuable working space. Looking for some ideas on a 3 tool pedestal that will be sturdy and look nice, and also, It has to be movable... Any Ideas will be appreciated.. Thanks Tim ... I've posted this before. Also not exactly what your asking for, but may give some ideas. Glenn ... i made up a stand that accepts a vehicle rim,in this case was a caravan wheel.

November 13, 2013 - here's a few more stands i found over on the Craftsman block thread for our grinders. i like the idea of making use of a wood vise by making a plywood base for your grinder with a 2 x 2 screwed to the bottom of it for the vise to hold. CoPilot's version on his bench.
