Recently got a new grinder. Couldn't find a good grinder stand. Everything I looked at was too flimsy, too costly, or too short. Mostly too short. They all seem to be 30 inches or so which for me at 6-4 is not a good working height. The usual solution is a truck wheel and heavy steel pipe but I didnt have that laying around. I found a used import drill press for $50 on Craigslist. Not too good as a drill press but an excellent grinder stand. For the price you get a stand that is as good as anything commercially available, and with an adjustable table. Mine is at 42 inches. Plus a decent motor, hardware, bearings, shafts, all can probably be recycled for something down the line.
