Product Information

First, consider the size of your bench grinder. Some stands are designed for small bench grinders, while others are built to accommodate larger machines. A floor stand is the most versatile type of stand, and it’s great for people who want to be able to use their bench grinder in a variety of different locations. This type of stand typically has two legs that connect to the workbench using adjustable knobs, giving you maximum flexibility when positioning the machine. 5 Simple Steps to Make Bench Grinder Stand Step 1. Gather your materials My bench grinder was an old beast from my grandfathers work shop (they don't make em like that any more), and when he gave it to me it came complete with rubber washers and lag bolts to secure it to a bench and minimize vibration. I just placed the grinder, marked the holes in the base, then drilled some pilot holes to accommodate the lag bolts. If you want to go more elaborate and be more creative then you will need to factor in more materials and their cost. You will also need to add in a lot more time. It all depends on you. There are few regulations governing a DIY bench grinder stand.

During the test run, the stand held in place, none of the joints wobbled and I was able to safely polish some brass hardware. If I plan on using the grinding wheel at some point I will add cross pieces lower on the legs and maybe throw a sandbag on said joists to improve the base weight and stability. If you’d like the bench grinder stand to be portable, simply attach two 2×8-inch boards at either end of the plywood base and screw them in place. Now you can roll it around wherever you need it! Step 5. Grind wood on your new bench grinder standSecond, think about how you plan to use your stand. Some people prefer a stand that is fixed in one location, while others find it more versatile to be able to move the grinder around the workbench. Cut off one corner of those small pieces but do not throw away those wedges. You will need them later. Finally, consider your budget and how much space you have available on your workbench. A good rule of thumb is to buy a stand that’s two times the length and width of your bench top so there’s plenty of room to work. Now that everything is installed and calibrated, you’re ready to start using your bench grinder stand! Simply position the workpiece on the stand and rest the grinder wheel on top of it. Turn the wheel slowly while holding down the trigger to begin grinding. There are a few different types of stands available, and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages.
