Mounting a Disk Grinder (height)

[John Frankl]

Hello All,

Just thought I'd add yet another disk grinder question:

For a grinder with the disk running vertically (90 degrees to the ground), what height do you all like? I want to be able to flat grind with the blade below the center line of the disk, so I am thinking of mounting it so that the center of the disk is right around my belly button.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

John

Sounds about right.
