Ya got to love Harbor Freight!!

Now all I need to do is find a place to mount them. I think a new bench may be in order.

Harbor Freight also sells pedestals so you can stand it anywhere you wish. Hint: Mount the buffer/polisher close in front of some sort of shield or the first time you use it, you will discover rouge all over the bench/room/tools and misc. anything.

I am considering getting 2 of the stands. No more than I use stuff like this it would be fine to just carry whatever I need, mess and all, out to the deck.

I mounted the grinder on my bench temporarily but there just isn't enough room. I replaced the coarse wheel with a wire wheel and spent a good 3 hours yesterday clearing out a backlog of items I had with a bit of surface rust and other gunk.

None of which were guns, I hope.
