Modding a bench grinder, would this work?
I just got an 8 amp 1/2HP 8" table grinder, seems like its pretty standard issue to rip the whole thing apart and take off what you're not going to use assuming you're using it as a buffer/polisher. The downside of having this is I can't polish heavy stuff with it, I cant stand there for and hour at a time holding up a 50 pound piece of metal. So getting back on track as I was ripping it down I wondered, would it be possible to pull this thing down to just the motor and buffing wheel, weld some handles and brackets to it, and suspend it from a ceiling beam? I was thinking of getting some high strength sailing bungee and attaching it so it will almost be in zero gravity hanging there. What do you guys think?
