    Benchtop power tools...Custom stand or mount on roll-away cabinet?

    I need to mount a bench grinder and belt/disc sander in a small garage. Rather than buy a pair of stands from Harbor Freight or building a custom stand, I'm considering mounting on either side of a roll-away tool chest w/o the wheels attached. Any reason not to do this? Got any better...
