I like the principle, but have never been happy that wheels are (potentially) throwing grit and filings at each other. Be interested to know after you have used it a bit whether that is a real problem and needs screening or whether I am buying trouble...

I was thinking more of throwing grit onto your wet stone for example and contaminating it.

Good work on the stand TB.
My tri-grinder stand is now 11 years old.
It started out with 3 SP grinders and now it has 2 x 3P 1HP GMFs running off one VFD and a 1HP SP Abbott and Ashby.

Except for buffing wheels (which I install only when in use ) I haven't noticed any sort of grit transfer problem.
Any big bits that settle on the wheels seem to get flung off when they're turned on.
Once nice thing I can do with mine is easily move the grinders further out and then rotate it like this.
Here are a couple of Photos I took during the 2012 build.
