My dad has had a couple of grinders on stands using old semi-truck wheels as
the base. They are extremely stable and don't move around. They have been this
way for years (30+). They consist of a piece of 4" pipe, welded to the wheel,
with a flat plate welded to the top that the grinder can bolt to.
Occasionally the wheels crack through the lug holes and are no longer useful.
You may be able to get a tire shop to give you one of those. Also, if you can
find the old split rim type, people will usually give those away as well.
You could also probably use regular car/truck wheels, you just may need to add
some concrete for ballast.
Any of the above options should be easily moved with a hand truck.
