Grinder stand - Project #1
I thought I would post this grinder stand I made a few months back. I had picked up this grinder at a yard sale and it was just lying about. I also had a 34" piece of 3" heavy wall pipe left over, as well as a foot of small 1.5 " channel stock, and about a square foot of 3/8" plate. I made all cuts on this project using the PP60. I cut the channel in three equal sections, then traced out an ovall shape on the plate eight inches by 11 inches and cut. I smoothed the plate on the sander and then welded it to the pipe. Next I drilled a whole in each section of channel on the drill press and then welded them on the stand as a base. I then put on about two and a half coats of Rustoleum primer (one whole can). I plan on bolting it to the floor, just have not gotten around to it yet.
This project was enjoyable to build and, and I think it came out real nice. Not only was I able to get the grinder off the bench but I was able to use up some odd scrap and get it out of the way by turning it into a useful tool. All in all a great way to spend an evening after work.
