I have a woodworking friend who's bought a good grinder for sharpening
turning tools. She's mounted it on a regular metal post-style grinder base,
but it vibrates a lot. Is there a better base that would minimize this? She
has a wheel balancing kit but believes that it's the whole base that's
vibrating, not just the wheels.

Advice will be much appreciated.


A heavy base is better.
My grinder base is an old brake drum, welded to a pipe for a riser, with a
plate welded on that the grinder is bolted to. Then the whole works was
filled with concrete. Probably weighs 150 pounds.
