How to do this depends on the type of material you use. Metal stands are a little bit different from using wood and takes a different skill set to put together. Here is one example of how to put together a wood bench grinder stand. 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 stand To set the angle on a bench grinder tool rest, you need to adjust the height of the tool rest and the angle of the blade. To adjust the height of the tool rest, place your index finger on the center of the tool rest and use your other hand to adjust the height until you reach the desired angle. To set the angle of the blade, hold the tool rest in one hand and use your other hand to rotate the blade until it is at the desired angle. Conclusion Second, 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.

Also, I was only using this to polish some hardware that came off of some old Miracle doors so I really wasn't planning on applying that much horizontal pressure towards the grinding wheel. 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.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. Another advantage of a mobile stand is that it’s easier to move the machine around – even if it’s heavy-duty machinery. 3. Floor Stand

You’ll need a few pieces of wood to build the stand, and you’ll also need some supplies to help you get started. You will need a piece of plywood at least 18 inches wide and 8 inches tall, a Miter saw or hand saw, biscuit joiner or an equivalent jigsaw blade with a 1-1/4 inch cutting capacity, drill bit size #6 (or larger), stainless steel screws in various lengths corresponding to the width of the plywood (in feet): 2×8 for 44″ wide plywood; 2×10 for 50″ wide plywood; 2×12 for 58″ wide plywood; and 1-1/2 inch screws. Step 2. Assemble the plywood pieces Start by assembling the two 8-foot long boards using the biscuit joiner or jigsaw blade. Make sure that the edges of both boards are smooth and squared off before screwing them together. Next, add another piece of wood to one end of each board so that they form a 45-degree angles for wood (the hypotenuse). Finally, screw on the remaining piece of wood at one end to complete your bench grinder stand assembly! Step 3. Attach the stand to your workbenchIf 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.
