    Although Richard describes the typical flex shaft hanger right, his
    plumbing terms are a little rusty. The crucial part is a pipe
    flange. That's a (usually) round fitting with 4 bolt holes and a
    pipe fitting in the center, for mounting pipe onto a surface for
    railings or flex shaft hangers. He says 1", but mine is 1/2" pipe
    (galvanized pipe is the ID, not the OD). Usually it's mounted in the
    back corner of the bench top, but mine is mounted on the back, with
    street elbow so the upward pipe can go into it. I also put an elbow
    on the end of the top pipe, so the flex shaft can't slide off the
    end of it. All it is is a big "L" made out of pipe that goes from
    the back of the bench up and outwards over the front of the bench. I
    hang my motor with plain old copper electrical wire, which, as
    Richard points out, is easily adjustable for height.
