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 a lot of it was marked as Prototype motherboards and such from about 1991 so I figured it was out of date now anyway.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:
