I’m looking for a wall mount for a 19" LCD touch monitor that I can mount to the side of an enclosure, or, worst case, the wall. Anyone have some recommendations on things that worked particularly good for you? I really don’t have room on my table to mount a “table mount” type, so need another option. I currently have it mounted to a nearby grinder…that can’t stay though…

I found these on sale at Microcenter one day for $19.99 apiece. So I bought two. I have ad good luck with them.

I personally use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010QZCT5W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (in use: My introduction out of the way)
I also use their dual monitor arm version for my home office workstation

I mounted a FLEXIMOUNTS M10 laptop swing arm to the side of the bench I built for my XXL. I do not recommend this mount though, because it has way too much bounce! While the Shapeoko is running of course I expect the laptop/arm to bounce, but with this one, even tightened all the way down, you can’t even type on the laptop without it bouncing all around. I would definitely try to find something in a local shop that you can actually see/touch. I thought I was getting quality because I was spending much more money… shame on me.

(I will take a picture later if I remember)
For the purposes of rigidity and cost, I have never purchased a mount. I make them. My preferred starting point is a speaker wall mount (I picked up a bunch with good ball swivels at a boot sale a few years ago, but have also used the eye-bolt style). A square of 3mm steel plate with five holes in it, a few screws, and done. Not a lot of adjustability, but very rigid and very secure.
I have done maybe a dozen or 15 of these in the last 10 years between home and work and had zero failures.
EDIT: just got home from work. Attached is a pic of one mount. Others are similar, with details varying based on the actual VESA size and config of the attachment device. I think my total cost averages about $US2, as the steel plates are about $US1.50 (column shim plates from the steel yard, 3mm thick, in assorted sizes). Maybe 15min to mark up, drill, and mount.

How well does the pole work for this? Is it reasonably sturdy?
The “pole” is a length of 3/4" square tubing, welded to a mounting plate that I bolted to the skirt of the desk. It works fine.
