KMG Horizontal/Vertical grinder

[Maximilian]

I've lately seen a few ask about being to able to turn their vertical grinder into a horizontal one. The Bader grinder has a hinge attachment one can buy to make the grinder go horizontal. I've seen a few pics of it and it does work. Someone I know has it working too in his shop.

The KMG doesn't. So I asked my local friend, welder and genius at what he does to make my KMG flip horizontal.

He built me a dedicated table from 9/32" thick steel. All I can say, it works flawless. I'm still waiting for him to built the horizontal work rest but in the meantime I'm already making good use of it.

One thing's for sure. It will be the last thing standing if they drop the A-bom. That table is as sturdy as they come. I bet it all weights a few hundred pounds.

Here's a video of my setup and a few pics.
