    let's see your craftsman block grinders

    Will let you know when we've figured out all the specs and make sure it really looks okay. I need to find out what is involved in the laser engraving (I know more colors are more involved than simple black&white) and what the COG would be.

    Hi All, So, I am having trouble finding ANY other exact matches to the grinder my friend brought over to our communal shop. It is his Dad's grinder which he's had for about 40 years...I'm in the process of refurbing it, but found it strange that in all of the pics and documents I could find...
