$10 DIY Toolhead stand for 1050


Recommended Posts

I got this from somebody a few years ago, just made a couple more so thought I would post it.

 

Parts from Home Depot

1x DURA 1 in. Schedule 40 PVC Male Adapter $0.70

1x Mueller Global 1 in. x 5 in. Black Steel Nipple $2.39

1x 1 in. Black Malleable Iron Threaded Floor Flange $6.84

 

If you run the ratchet system you may need to get a longer pipe.  This one is only 5" and fits mine perfect.

 

Screw them down to a piece of wood or work bench then done.

I did this today **cough...at work**.  I just grabbed a 5" long threaded 1" pipe, screwed that into a 1-1.5" reducer bushing, and then the bushing into a 1.5" female union.  I wrapped the threads with one wrap of black electrical tape.It's very stable (although you can't easily permanently fix to bench).  Now I can slide the spare shell plate onto the 1" pipe and it rests on the little 1.5" shelf.  The toolhead will slide onto the threaded portion of the pipe but won't pass that.  I just taped it to make it look cleaner.

I know this is old, but I just made one of these last night and it's a much better solution than paying $50 for a stand.  Just wanted to say thanks!

 

I just did the same. Now costs $11 in parts from Home depot and still works great!
