For my bench grinder, I did that same sort of thing, but added a lip
to the pallet, that hangs over the bench edge. This makes it a kind of
half-bench-hook, so pressure on the grinding wheels doesn't walk the
grinder back from the edge. It still takes a C-clamp or two, and looks ugly,
but my workspace isn't a candidate for Shop Beautiful cover art.
