As I run my pneumatic die grinder the chuck gets tighter. So when I use the crappy 7/16' wrench to open the chuck, the blasted wrench bends at the gap. The larger 5/8" wrench can be replaced with regular wrench but the small one has to slip into a narrow space between the chuck and the...

Bob: The key is 2" from tip to tail, so it's definitely larger than a quarter - more like a silver dollar size.

Unforturnately, I'm that guy that usually they like to stump...

Signcrafter, you are most likely correct. Dang I was hoping it would be a special part for my grinder that I didn't know I was missing....

Hummm, you have a point...

I have this "washer" in my tool drawer and cannot figure out what it belongs to. I think it is part of one of my power tools.... any thoughts?

Steevo, I really like your suggestion. I'm pretty far along welding up my original setup, but I had not figured out a lock mechanism yet. I will hybridize your radius disk into my existing work. Thanks. I thought of a pivot system to accompany your design ( I used a very large gate hinge...

Wouldn't that require space on the right and left of this mount to stand facing each grinder? I don't have that space.

Been there, tried that. Didn't work for me. Firstly, tools were not immediately accessible - would need to swap out one grinder for the other, connect the cords, etc. Secondly, lifting and moving 50lbs here and 50lbs there became a chore. Especially my 90lb mitre saw. So I have moved to...

For space saving, that's why the pivot. If I could mount them beside each other, I would just make a bench. An extension of my idea would be to build a mobile base that the hinged tubing platform slipped into. That way it could be wall mounted or on a mobile base.

Actually, I think I do understand you. Perfect! Started my orginal design - good thing I bought a plasma cutter..... I like your mod.

Thanks Josh, I really appreciate the positive encouragement.:beer:

I was supposed to get that, from this? I can even read my wife's mind.:lol:

I thought about a pivot, still might go that way. Thanks for the thoughts.

Help me understand it.
