The base and top are constructed of heavy-duty cast iron, which makes them extremely tough and long-lasting.
The diameter of the adjustable steel column is 3-1/2 inches.
On the column, there is a clamping mechanism, as well as locking screws. Replacement heads are available and are interchangeable with the original heads.
Quenching for the work piece is provided by the built-in water pot.
Designed with the highest quality in mind for a product that will last for years to come, with no wobbling.
Designed with the worker in mind, the Palmgren Bench Tool Stand is a versatile piece of equipment. It is capable of accommodating bench grinders and bench buffers with diameters of 6 in, 7 in, 8 in, and 10 in. It is also capable of holding belt grinders with diameters of one inch, two inches, and four inches.
(1) Recognize that it is a long journey from China to Arizona. Please keep in mind that packaging 60 pounds of cast iron is a difficult task. Having said that, the cardboard packaging inside the shipping container appeared to have failed, and the cast iron parts appeared to have bounced around together for the majority of the journey. Although cast iron is difficult to break, the grinder stand appears to be in poor condition even on the first day after assembly.
(2)The grinder mounting plate is equipped with a number of slots and holes that allow it to accommodate a variety of bench grinders. What it lacks is compatibility with the Delta 23-197 grinder, which is an important feature. The problem was solved by drilling four new holes in the mounting plate – just don’t expect a bolt-on assembly to work..
