Mounting Bench Grinder to Workbench
If bench grinder is to be used in a permanent location,
it should be fastened securely to a firm supporting
surface such as a stand or workbench using the two
mounting holes (1), one of which is shown in figure 6.
When mounting grinder to a workbench, holes should
be drilled through the supporting surface of the
workbench using the dimensions illustrated (Fig. 6).
1.Each of the two mounting holes should be bolted
securely using 5/16" hex nuts (not included). Screw
lengths should be 1-1/2" longer than the thickness
of the bench top.
2.Locate and mark where the grinder is to be
mounted.
3.Drill two (2) 7/16" diameter holes through
workbench.
4.Place bench grinder on workbench aligning holes in
base with holes drilled in workbench.
5.Insert two (2) 5/16" screws and tighten.
Mounting to Plywood
An alternative method of securing your bench grinder
is to fasten the grinder base to a mounting board
12" x 18" minimum size to prevent grinder from tipping
while in use. Any good grade of plywood with a 3/4"
minimum thickness is recommended (Fig. 7).
1.Follow instructions for mounting to workbench,
substituting a plywood board 12" x 18" minimum
size and using 5/16" flat head screws, lockwashers
and hex nuts (not included). Screw length must be
at least 1-1/2" more than the thickness of the
mounting board.
NOTE: For proper stability, holes must be
countersunk so screw heads are flush with the bottom
surface of the supporting board.
2.Securely clamp board to workbench using two or
more “C” clamps (Fig. 7).
Supporting surface where grinder is to be mounted
should be examined carefully after mounting to insure
that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping
or walking is noted, secure the workbench or stand
before operating the bench grinder.
