Model W1839 & W1840 (For Machines Mfd. Since 3/16)
Machine.Placement
Workbench.Load
Refer to the Machine.Specifications for the
weight and footprint specifications of your
machine. Some workbenches may require
additional reinforcement to support the weight
of the machine and workpiece materials.
Placement.Location
Consider anticipated workpiece sizes and
additional space needed for auxiliary stands,
work tables, or other machinery when
establishing a location for this machine in the
shop. Below is the minimum amount of space
needed for the machine.
Mount the grinder to a workbench to avoid
accidental tipping. For portable bench grinding,
mount it to a heavy plywood base (at least 1"
thick) that is wide enough to prevent tipping or
rocking during use.

The base of this machine has mounting holes
that allow it to be fastened to a workbench
or other mounting surface to prevent it from
moving during operation and causing accidental
injury or damage.
The strongest mounting option is a "Through
Mount" (see example) where holes are drilled all
the way through the workbench—and hex bolts,
washers, and hex nuts are used to secure the
machine in place.

Another option is a "Direct Mount" (see
example) where the machine is secured directly
to the workbench with lag screws and washers.
