    I recently picked up one very similar that needs work. It was very cheap. I cannot help with ideas for jigs or rests for this grinder but I would like to jump onboard and find out the same information as I also picked up a second hand wood lathe (see Woodturning - General - Wood lathe Bargain).

    Hi,

    I don't have the same grinder as you do but I'm sure there is a way to adept my contraption in height width etc.

    It's all made from scraps, some hardwood and flooring laminate even the knobs are recycled.

    It does perform much better then the flimsy tool rest that came with the grinder. I just hack sawed them of

    Have fun,
    Kayu

    Looks like the best option so far. Mine is still in pieces. If I put it together I would not have anywhere to put it yet so no hurry.
