I finally bought myself a grinder. I am looking for a place to park it in my
shop and I thought that I might build a base that would mate with the bed on
my Jet 1442.

Of course of I did long spindle work I would have to remove it, in which
case I could probably just capture the base in the front vise of my
workbench. (If I'm into some spindle turning I would prbably not be needing
that function on my bench)

Is there a some reason why I should not consider that? Like the castoff
from the friable wheels should not get remotely colse to the bed.

Doe sthis sound like a good idea or bad?

I'd avoid it for the same reason that I don't like the shop made grinding disks
that fit either hand wheel or between the spindle and chuck.. I just don't like
either metal shavings or sparks around the lathe..

Another consideration is that I recycle my shavings and wouldn't want them
"contaminated" with metal and grinding wheel dust.. YMWV
