Thanks everyone! Well I bought her. Bearings sound smooth and free spins for about 2.5 minutes after shutdown. Everything appears in good condition overall, minus the imperfect paint job and minor surface rust here and there. Switch is tight and accessories are in good condition. Light works...

I’m in need of a bench grinder and just starting to read up on vintage models as I tend to lean that way rather than the newer typical garbage of today. Ran across this grinder for sale locally for $125. Can anyone offer an opinion on whether this is low, average, or high? And also possibly an...

Looks good! What kind of floor you got going there?
