How does one determine the best height to mount an 8" grinder for sharpening turning tools? I'm mounting it on a cabinet with drawers and using the wolverine system.

This works pretty well for me, as I'm about 5'7" these days! (I've shrunk from my youthful 5'9")
I would say yours is on the low side...I don’t think there is a guide since the height is what your comfortable with. Mine is about 36 inches high on a bench. I’m 6’2 so it’s fine for me.
This means that 200 years from now you will be about four feet tall.![]()
Let’s go with the 200 odie!.....or dead, whichever comes first!

I like my grinder the same height as my spindle for the same reason John mentions. I'm often using my body to grind my tools just I like I do when I turn so it feels very natural and comfortable. Odie. I shrank also but so far only an inch. My family on my mothers side (and I take after that side) is know for shrinking as they get into their 80's. My mother is 87 and starting to get really tiny. So I guess I'll have to get a lathe that adjusts down as I get older.
