    Product Princess Auto Universal Sliding Heavy Duty Angle Grinder Stand

    I have the cheaper non sliding version from Amazon, it's a bit meh. I mean it's ok, but it is what it is, it isn't a chop saw. It's kind of a nuisance to set up, so you kind of need a dedicated grinder for it if you decide to go that way. Mine has a dedicated use to cut horseshoes for welded...

    Homemade Sheet Metal Brake?
