setting up grinder, buffer, etc.

[John Frankl]

I am setting up shop, finally, and am wondering what people's opinions are about mounting equipment. Specifically, what tools should have their own dedicated stands, and what tools should be side by side on benches?

I know there are no right answers here, but I'd like to get your thoughts.

Thanks,

John

John; I keep my buffers away from the grinders and always keep the buffers covered and marked for what application that you use them on.

If your shop is small and or you sit down when working, build a rotating tool bench. I've had one for years now and love it. I just spin to the tool I need. Got my wilton belt grinder, drill press, metal cutting bandsaw, buffer, and bench vise bolted to it.
