Dont have a picture to post, may have already been posted about, but made a stand for my 8 inch bench grinder by welding a piece of steel pipe the same size as the hole in one of those dummy donut spare tires, then a plate on top to mount the grinder. Reinflated the tire (deflated it while welding) and it takes up any little vibrations and good solid footprint.

I used 2 seperate peices of pipe for my stand. one slides inside the other. drilled a hole and welded a nut to the outside pipe so i can adjust the height if need be.

Made one from a variable speed cylinder sheave off a 105 combime and a 3'piece of 3" pipe. Its much better than the one from Sears on the other grinder. That one liked to take a walk until I placed a piece of an old truck mudflap under it. Its walking days are over now.

Good idea - mine is a pipe welded to an old car rim. It used to dance around the shop till I put a spair tow chain on the base and that helped.

Make sure to remove the valve core before welding. People have been killed welding rims with the tires still on. Dave

I'm not dave, but I could answer that. The air pressure builds up from the welding heat and..... ..... .BOOOOM! I've heard of alot of people gettin' killed that way.

Good idea! I'm gonna change mine to a rubber tire tomorrow. It's on an old steel wagon wheel now but it wants to dance across the floor. I thought about a stand with a real heavy base but it would be harder to move around. Jim

What a genius idea! That's the kind of stuff I recall reading as tech tips in Popular Mechanics in the old days. Thanks for sharing, I think I'll make one too!

Damn...what a good idea. Ive used grinder stands made out a semi truck brake drums, they still like to vibrate across the floor, like those old electric football games.

Vibration is caused by out of balance grinding wheels.Check them on a cone type mower blade balancer.

A good grinder dresser will get it balanced out. Works on mine and I can even get used wheels that been ground down smaller to work by redressing them and balanced out fine.

These out of balance wheels are not out of round.I think they vary in thickness.I use a diamond dresser.The balance improves as the wheels get smaller.I mark the worst ones OB and dont use them for fine work.The blade balancer will catch the bad ones.Resin bond wheels seem to be the worst when it comes to out of balance.A grinder should not vibrate..

I have tried trueing them with a dressing bar and have not had success. I think the cheap foreign wheels must have density variations from side to side and cause the unbalance that can't be overcome by dressing. The Norton wheels are the best.
