GMF Diamond Wheel Grinder Attachment
I just won this GMF grinder at an auction. It runs as smooth as silk. I'll replace the wheels and give it a bit of a clean up. It came with the cast iron auxiliary table shown in the photo, but I have no idea how it attaches to the grinder. Maybe it doesn't even belong to the grinder? Does anyone have any suggestions?

I stumbled across this picture on the web. Looks like the table is made to fit a different guard. I'd say there's been a mix up somewhere along the line. I guess I'll have to adapt the guard to fit the table.

jack620, as said above you have the wrong guard fitted to mount the table, I do not think you will have much luck finding one seperate from the grinder
with a bit of jiggery pokery you could make up some brackets and fittings to fit, I will attempt to take some photo's and post them might help you out.

Thanks China,
It will be worth the effort to mount the table. The large surface and slots would be very handy. Any photos you think might help me would be appreciated.

Thanks China,
I can now see that the table's mounting bracket is bolted to the end of the bars. I was wondering what the threaded holes in the ends of the bars were for. Armed with your photos it should be fairly simple to knock up a bracket to to fit the table to. Thanks for going to the trouble.

China,
I see your grinder has FWD & REV the same as mine. What do you use the REV position for (if at all)?
