Porting Bench

I build this bench to roll around a shop I was associated with, which subsequently closed.  I use it for porting engine heads, and any other grinding job that will fit inside.  It has: caster wheels on the base, a frame of 1.25" box steel, a bottom plate and bench of 3/16" steel plate, 25' of 12g primary power cord, 2 switchable outlets used for the 2 hanging grinders, a built-in steel drawer on ball bearing slides, and a iltered fan mounted at the back. The shell is the remnants of a clothes dryer. 

Bench is ~5'9" tall, 30" wide, 24" deep.
