Re: Re-configuring a Bench Grinder
Don't know about the rules on your side of the world, but that would be illegal under OH&S rules here.
Firstly it is spraying filings upwards so more chance of them getting into your eyes from the bottom edge of any safety glasses.
Secondly, the tool rest is way too far from the grind stone, it is not to be any more than a 1mm gap between stone and tool rest under our rules.
A persons natural tendency when placing hands on a bench or flat surface is to move them downwards from above, so the mod leaves a large area of the grindstone open in the horizontal plane.
