Also added a light fixture with magnifier lens. The magnifier doesn't get close enough to use on pieces still in the chuck, but its nice to have to inspect inserts, tools, etc for wear and chips. The fixture folds up and out of the way when not in use as well.

That's pretty, nice lines.

I could do it on a rotary table, but it would be a lot of work. I find myself designing much more complex shapes since I bought my CNC. Back in the hand crank days (not that long ago), I kept things pretty simple.

I would not have any trouble on a rotary table either. CNC is definitely quicker thought.

very clever idea to save space!! what do you have planned for the electrical plugs?

I have a habit to unplug items not in use.

As far as the cords I will just coil the cords on the grinders

.....weird thread, best I could measure was 1/2-12. A 1/2-13 bolt wont go in the holes and neither will any similar sized metric bolt......]

1/2" x 12 = standard whitworth thread, (BSW).

Cheers Phil

I've wanted to make this space saving stand for some time. I cant remember where I got the idea.

Do you use the grinders on the bench and then store them on the stand?

On the top of the stand, but I just thought if I need to use 2 at a time I could set one in my vise too .
 
I mounted the casters on the grinder stand today. I had to get a friend to machine a set of spacers as my lathe is down for repairs.

I also had time to mount one grinder to a plate. The working height is 43 inches just perfect for me.

This is my light duty course stone grinder in the pic. It's a rebuild from spare parts.
