Description
This Angle Grinder Storage Rack offers great pegboard storage and organization for conventional 4-1/2in (115mm) grinders. The circular grinding wheel/disc with guard sits in the opening keeping the grinder secure and protecting its surface from unnecessary damage. In addition, this rack holds a wrench tool and has an integrated hook for cord management during storage.
This grinder storage rack is designed for pegboards with 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole spacing commonly sold in US hardware stores. Designed around Sy's Peglock System, both the pegboard rack and pegboard clips can be printed flat and without supports. This eliminates the weak pegs that are prone to breaking in other pegboard models because the print orientation is not optimal for the strength of the hooks, which are much stronger when the plane of the hook is parallel to the print bed.
The build plate includes two pegs for the typical 0.25-inch (6.35 mm) thick "Home Depot" pegboard with 0.25-inch holes. While pegboards in the US have a standard 1" hole spacing, the actual boards can be a range of thicknesses and hole sizes. So sizing hooks to fit the thickest boards, results in a loose-fitting hook on the thinner-boards. You can generate different sized pegs from this Onshape project.
If you are looking for additional storage for 4.5" grinding discs, cut-off wheels, flap discs, or related accessories, check out my 4-½ inch Grinding Disc Holder for pegboards.

Printing:
I printed in PETG with the 0.20mm strength settings in Bambu Studio including 6 walls with 25% Gyroid infill
Assembly:
To mount, fold each "peglock pegboard clip" with the flat printed sides together. Insert it into the pegboard so the triangular surfaces point up spaced to match the slots on the rack, then slide the grinder rack down over top. It should securely fit into place compressing the organizer against the board and preventing accidental movement.
