If you want nothing short of the optimal stand for your regular usage, this wen adjustable grinder stand is certainly a wise investment. The wheel dressing tool is of decent quality for light touch up. The onboard coolant tray serves as a quenching pot for workpieces, making sure your tools and blades don’t warp due to excessive heat. The shrouds surrounding the wheels are made to accomodate 1" wheels. The base of this grinder is so wide that the closest you can mount this tool gets the channel almost directly under the wheel. The variable speed and light are also great features.
The tool rests are very sturdy and there is a separate tool rest with the groove built in for sharpening drill bits that fits right over the already installed rest on the right side with the ultra fine stone. Adjustable eye guards include built-in led lights to keep your workpiece illuminated. The differences are that the Grizzly has different wheel grits and does not come with either a dressing tool or an extra tool rest.

The wen bench grinder is the best reliable stand on the market today. It works nice with a stupid, vibrating dewalt grinder. It is great with a grinder and 3 inch caster wheels. It is made of heavy-duty cast iron and steel, and the solid three-legged base prevents wobbling during operation. It does come in pieces you have to put it together. It is good height for working on the grinder. It is ideal for a light 8 inch or just about any 6 inch grinder.
Why We Like This:
Holds securely, no vibrations, and frees up valuable work bench space
A cute little stand that will blend with any decor
Excellent for light duty buffing without bolting it down, making it very portable
Easy to put together, plenty sturdy for the weekend warrior type

Compared with other stand in this category, the jet great grinder has a convenient design. The motor is powerful enough to sharpen mower blades and not bog down. It feels well made, spins true, and runs strong. It holds its own during large industrial projects. The grinder sits on a rubber foot to prevent unwanted movement and can be bolted down if desired for maximum stability.
The motor is plenty beefy to handle even heavy handed grinding. It is designed to run at 60hz and slowing it down would slow down the cooling air flow for the motor, add that with a load (grinding application), the motor may not be able to cool itself sufficiently. The motor itself runs quiet and dead smooth without the wheels.
Why We Like This:
Very impressed with cast iron wheel guards and tool rests
Doesn't slow down when grinding at all
You can also get buffing wheels and wire-brush wheels

Next on the list, we've got yet another stand that manages to win our hearts. It's the jet adjustable grinder stand and it's widely considered as stand that has the most suitable features. It is for shops that may be short on space, a cast iron jet bench grinder delivers work power and pristine finishes. It looks and works great plus it measures about 19 inches wide. It has not broken, however, there are holes in the base for securing to the floor.
This makes a wiggly stand into a solid bang for the buck tool stand. The central tube could be filled with sand and it would be even more stable. It is a great unit, good weight. It provides strength and durability plus this stand features an 11 " x 10" mounting surface.
Why We Like This:
Nice heavy duty bench grinder stand
Great value, heavy build, and heavy duty should last a long time for ever

The rikon power tools adjustable grinder stand should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It measures 12" x 9 1/4" with 1/2" wide slots for mounting grinders. There are enough notches that one of them should work for the height you want. It has notches in the upper pipe so it holds in place while you try it on for size and can then tighten it without trying to hold it in place as you tighten the tension bolt.
It's very high quality. It is a little tippy with a grinder mounted on it and will definitely need bolted down to either the floor or a wider base.

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate stand. The palmgren adjustable grinder stand is exactly that - it's a simple stand that hits all the right notes. Honestly, it's overkill for the tiny super light weight 6" grinders like the Ryobi BG612G. It allows mounting with 4 bolts. All of the parts fit together well and the beefy screws hold tight with no fear of breaking or bending the parts. The stand is a good weight, but not so heavy that you can't pick it up.
The weight and physical size of the grinder, it may throw the stand off balance unless you bolt the stand to the floor. It is a great tool to use. This is a very solid well built stand especially for the money.
Why We Like This:
Very solid on concrete floor, even considering not bolting it down
Well built, very heavy duty, all metal work precision & smooth

The shop fox adjustable grinder stand should be able to handle its purpose and duties with ease. It features cast iron base, steel mounting base with universal mounting slots. It is designed for use with 6-8" bench grinders. The inner pole that slides up/down has notches in the back (see photo) for a positive height lock with no way it could drop over time. The weight of the stand is enough to keep the buffer planted solidly with no wobble or movement under use.
