[Roadsters] Semi-OT: Bench grinders

[Gordon Glasgow]

Good point about anchoring the grinder. I don't currently have room for a
dedicated grinder stand and I got tired of chasing the grinder all over the
workbench, but I didn't want to bolt it in place and take up all that room
on the bench. My cheapo solution was to drill two holes in the workbench and
then drop a couple of bolts through the grinder into those holes and use
them like dowel pins. It's not 100% solid but it seems to work well enough.

I have a cheap Harbor Freight grinder that I use along with a variable speed
control (that was also from HF, for about $8 at the time). They're not real
heavy and they can scoot around a little bit. I use bar clamps to anchor to
my bench and it's no problem at all. For safety's sake, you should always
solidly mount a grinder to something anyway.
