Great idea, I wish I had the space to copy
. And you have even more grinders than me!
some good ideas there, I gave mine a serious dose of under thinking
Keeping it simple.
Basically a length of flat bar, with notches cut, spaced to correspond to the width of the grinder, the notches were roughly 8 or 10mm depending on the grinder bolt. Make up some stand off spacers (mine were 20mm conduit tube cut down to about 20mm) or just use screwed rod with nuts to space them out. Fix the flat bar to the wall with the standoffs to make a gap to the wall. Put a bolt in the handle hole (M8 for 115mm and M10 for 125mm) for each of the grinders. Hang them up, done. The 9" grinder justs sits on the flatbar jammed in, I rarely use it so I've never bothered to make it more accessible.
The only thing I had to revisit, was to put the bolts in the grinder with a dab of loctite, as they kept vibrating loose.

I use them all the time..cordless grinder and same blade and its easier than picking the saw up for rough small stuff like battens etcThat middle one has potential.

Don’t start getting grinder envy, we had that in another thread, can’t rember which. One member topped out with 9 I think

Really? Does it not snatch like a pick pocket ?
It's £9.95 inc free postage....lol
The price changes based on the size of the rack.
Did you think that was cheap then??
Yeah I hate the cheap option listing tricks...

Piece of angle works well, guard hooks onto it.
I do plan to make a better complete rack when i finally stop buying grinders.
Saw this yesterday and like the look of it:

Expensive though. I could get them made for free by a mate.

I have some off cuts of 2mm sheet; what's chances of me being able to knock one of these up, given I don't have a folder/brake to form any shape - perhaps could bend over the table though?

With a holesaw, grinder and a vice you could make them relatively easy.
Or make a V-notch and no need for a holesaw.
My angle iron has no notches in it and it works pretty well.
