I found a fella that bought some stuff in a BIG batch at an auction.......he was keeping what he wanted and throwing the rest out....... :wo:
So when he threw this to the trash side I said......your throwing this out??! He said yup.....dont know what it is and I dont care.... :confused: I said its a tool post grinder!! he said then take it its yours...... I dont grind any posts...... :laf: :laf:
Now I am trying to Identify what brand it is as it is important that I tell who ever I sell it to..... :biggrin: :eyebrow:

For those of ya wondering it is for a metal lathe........
I dont see a brand on the grinder...... only on the motor...... Kinda looks like a South Bend? Acme? I wish I could figure it out...... :madd: Yotehunter Do you know? Or anyone?
I want to say it is a Acme but the guard isnt right for an Acme
Gonna do some post grinding? :biggrin:
Any guess how much you might be asking?
I think it may be a Bridgeport after looking at the guard for a bit.
I don't have any idea of the "brand"... but then who cares? A tool post is a tool post eh? I'd think you could list it on e-bay and sell her pretty quick. :wink:
E-bay is what I was thinking......
5 Shots: I have no Idea right yet.....they range from $200 - $1500 depending on what ya have......and I aint sure what I have yet. :confused:
Bridgeport? Slag why ya thinking that? Do ya have a pic of one?
Jimbo: I brought home a Bunch of stuff from there today.....electric eyes still in the box, they had some 200AMP capacitors new but I was afraid to bother with those as they were open and I did no know if they were live or not.
And a computer GEEK heaven ....... I just did not know what most of it was so I left it there...... a lot of it was marked as Prototype motherboards and such from about 1991 so I figured it was out of date now anyway. Going back for more today. :eyebrow:
She runs great! and it fits my BIL's lathe....... + we just picked up a milling machine...... :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:
Looking for tooling now...... :pout: I been fabricating all weekend and it feels good for a change! I just hope we can make a living at it! :eyebrownod:
Jimbo, some guys want this old stuff BAD, I will have one someday, but right now I will sell this one to help pay the bills. :wink: I dont Grind posts.... :alscalls: :alscalls:
it is just the guard that is making me say Bridgeport. I am not real sure. I will do some research and see what I can figure out.
:wink:
I been having a heck of a time figuring it out........
I did get a Dumore Sensitive drill ........Today..... :dance: :dance: :dance:
1/16th HP 17,000 RPM :eyebrownod: With a foot pedal..... :biggrin:
