Depends on how you are going to use it. I'm sure my needs are different than yours. I haven't explored all options, that will come with time and others building and using it too. I just wanted to share it with others on this forum that have helped me when asked.

Slightly modified bracket but works great for refurbishing hand plane iron

That is absolutely first class work! Just beautiful!

Any chance you could publish a Sketchup file with dimensions?

If you are talking about the grinder mount, the Tormek BGM-100 comes with instructions.

For a simple, straight belt sander mount, purchase the following:

one 1/4" thick 2 inch wide x 13 inch long piece of mild steel flat bar
two 1/2-13 x 8 inch long bolts(cut the hex heads off)
two 1/2-13 nuts
two low profile 1/2-13 cap or acorn nuts
four 10-32 x 1/2 inch long pan head machine screws
one Tormek BGM-100 (comes with bar, around $67)
Use the Tormek base to mark the holes for drilling, then thread with a 10-32 tap
I wrote in a previous post how I marked and drilled the 1/2 inch holes

Or, just drill the 1/2" holes 7 1/4" c-c. You must be accurate!!!
