    Guys, how do you like this use of a piece of steel beam? By the way, I have one more piece left.
    Do you have any ideas what interesting things can be done?

    Personally, I also have a (small lightweight) support for a small angle grinder in addition to a larger machine. Also finding the use of the switch annoying, I leave it on ON permanently and power the machine via a foot switch. I find it very practical. The machine does not run for a long time unnecessarily and you keep both hands free.

    As for the remote power switch, install a junction box to the beam, with a 3conductor cord, an outlet to plug the grinder in & a switch to turn it on and off. Had a similar situation, built a portable table for my mini disc/belt sander on one end, 6" dual bench grinder on the other. I made the choice to hardwire both to the JB because they both had switches. So I added two outlets to the box.

    For an external switch I think I would add an electrical box with one plug socket for the cord and a switch where the other socket would ordinarily be. That should be available at home centers. For 120 volt appliances you should be able to run a cord from the switch box to a standard wall plug. Nice video.
