Thanks for... not picking it apart
Prior to the cart I had the grinder and the bandsaw set up just like this but on separate stands, right next to each other. 95% of my use is in that place but occasionally if I am doing a bunch of grinding or cutting, I would wheel them out the door. There is a wall immediately to the left and my toolbox immediately to the right. I learned a lot about my use habits in the year or so of that setup:
1. The disc is useless. Since I put the trick tools sander conversion on, I have not had occasion to use it once. I even went through the trouble originally of making a bracket to hold the little cast aluminum table that should allow it to be used with a miter gauge (see picture) and I still never used it. If I ever wanted to use it, I could switch sides of the grinder and put it on the right, but I would still have to move the cart out to get out of the way of my toolbox. Instead, I have been contemplating putting a diamond disc on the left side and drilling a couple holes to mount a drill bit sharpening jig, which I still have room for on the left side.
2) Cutting long stock is never ideal here anyway because I'm limited by the wall on the left, and because it's difficult to get a square cut feeding something long crossways into a bandsaw. I find if I want to cut something long, I clamp it in my vise and use the smaller, lighter, handheld bandsaw pictured below the cart, or if I really need a square cut, I use my Evo saw that lives on my little fab table in the middle of my shop where I have more room.
Flipping the grinder around is a non starter because this lives against a wall. It would mean I have to move the whole thing out of the shop every time I wanted to use the sander or deburr something on the wire wheel. Not practical.
I haven't this problem on either of my mid-torques. What kind of socket are you using?
