Lee Valley just started offering a new platen for their nice grinder tool rest stands that is wide enough for 1-1/2" wheels. That's the same stand I use on my CBN wheeled grinder, but I had already cut the slot out wider for a previously wider wheel. For ten bucks, I'll be ordering a replacement table for mine. They also have a skew jig that uses the slot in the little grinding stand table.
