Custom KMG horizontal/vertical stand

[Jsteele]

Has anyone seen this before? It is a custom stand that was designed to turn the KMG into a horizontal/vertical grinder. The designer does not want to build them,it was a one off. If anyone is willing to make one like this? I would be willing to buy it.

That has to be the nicest one I have ever seen. I like the wheel storage along the legs,too.

Lots of people have just made a hinged base plate. While there are some for sale out there, they are hard to find. I know that they are sold for the Bader and Kalamazoo. The price usually seems ridiculous, so folks either don't get one ....or make one themselves.
Have you contacted Rob and asked him who makes one to fit his grinder?

Maybe if one of the CAD friendly engineer/machinist types here will do the drawing of a setup like the one shown, one of the waterjet folks will cut out a "GSIB" kit ( Grinder Stand In a Box) for those who want to make one themselves.

That would be AWESOME if this stand was to be made as a GSIB kit. I have 2 KMG's and i would buy stands for both of them. The key thing is to make sure it fits the KMG grinder correctly.
