I like to grind chains outside to keep dust and sparks out of my basement shop. I sometimes also take a grinder along to different work locations. I have tried a few portable mounting ideas over the years, and when I found a good deal on this stand, finally decided to try it; something I had avoided, due to the cost (previous versions sold for a lot more), and because I was not sure about its stability.
I was impressed how sturdy the stand was, once nuts and bolts were tightened up, and how convenient and easy it is to set up and move. It is also height adjustable. I have used it with a few Oregon 511A style grinders, along with some mini-grinders ('clone' and HF grinder shown). It is really convenient for portable grinder use, and even to move a grinder around a shop for space, access, temporary use, etc.
The stand's top plate has mounting slots, to accommodate a range of grinders, and adjusts from about 42 to 53 inches high (I read one review where a user drilled additional holes in the main tube to work at a lower height). It can break down for storage or transport, to slightly over 24 inches long, by just removing a few bolts, and weighs under 12 pounds.
