WEN Bench Grinder Stand, 32-Inch with Water Pot (4288T), Black

It’s a good products for the price, but definitely not for very heavy duty grinders

all good

Nice little stand, ideal for use in the garage as a DIY product.

Muy buen producto

I almost skipped past this product because I figured it would be low quality and flimsy. While it is no cast iron Baldor stand, for the money IMO this cannot be beat. It is heavier gauge than you'd expect for this price point. Once assembled it feels quite sturdy. Let me take a moment to share my thoughts based on my use case. I mounted a ~45lb Bucktool 8-inch low speed bench grinder on this stand. Once I got it assembled which takes a matter of a few minutes, the included hardware worked perfectly to mount the grinder. The only plastic item on this stand is the small plastic hook included which I assume is for the grinder's cord. I then installed some small leveling casters which I also sourced from Amazon to make this a bit more mobile. With that said, I'd knock myself for taking this approach since I think this should either be bolted to a heavier piece of steel, or to the actual shop floor. I'm using this grinder mainly to sharpen HSS blanks for my lathe and shaper, and an occasional fly cutter tool bit. It holds in there pretty good, but the base isn't overly wide and with only three legs, it can move if you're pushing harder trying to remove some material. The stand itself doesn't seem to feel flexible, it's simply the fact it's not anchored to the ground. Dang physics! I think it will work for me, but I'll likely try to find a permanent home and actually anchor it to the floor at some point so I can really take out my aggressions after a bad day on a HSS blank. haha It's nice when you buy something and you don't feel like you got a total pile of garbage. Like I said, it's not like old iron by any means, but in today's world of a lot of Chinese junk being flooded into the market, this product will actually work decently well for its intended purpose. It has my recommendation and I paid full price for the product. Update: After using the first stand with the 8” grinder, I bought a second for my smaller 6” Delta variable speed with 320/600 grit CBN wheels. I didn’t put it on rollers this time since it’s light enough to move around with leveling feet. Zero complaints. Update: I bought an old Rockwell carbide grinder. It’s not light weight by any means. I installed casters and purchased two 25 pound weights from Amazon. After removing the center rings on the weights and cutting the rubber coating off the through hole, it’s a perfect fit to slide over the upright. Adding 50 pounds down low makes the stand feel much more stable with a large grinder mounted on it.

Well worth the price. This was one of the lower priced options for this type of product. But by no means is it of lower quality. I'm sure it will last in my shop for as long as I do.

Excelente banco está súper padre y cómodo🙌🏽!!!
