Good question, to be honest I don't know too much about the reduction boxes. It was smaller than I would have thought and it was painted power bronze. The guy knew what he had so we had. He wanted what he paid for them at auction. It was his plan to restore veg machines. Mostly Delta and...

Yes that was another rare purchase I made when I saw it had the belt cover. Speaking of which the guy is going to hold onto a 12" bandsaw with pedestal and slow speed reduction gear for me. I didn't have enough room in my truck to take both with me. Its painted Power Bronze, the only thing it...

It’s 2.5 ID and I also got a column clamp too.

Well I scored these two. They were right right price. Need a little bit of work but nothing I can’t handle. The black one was butchered a little bit and is powered by a 1950 Dunlop 1/3 HP motor. The battleship gray had a 3450 RPM motor on it and the pulley was mounted upside down. I...

It didn’t come with either of those grinders. It was in a box of spare grinder parts. Most of the parts are from 1/4 HP and one stator band had a 1958 badge. I have seen one video online that had a capacitor clamp that was the same chrome finish as well.

Picked up this the other day. It was in a lot of extra parts. For $30 I made out well with the extra parts that I needed. I’ve never seen one of these though. Must have been a one year thing.

I like the idea of using spare drill press base and table for a stand. My question is do you worry about the weight of the grinders cracking the cast iron tables? I know you have it mounted on a later style table. I have and extra 100 series bench top that I wanted to do this with. Just...

Well I called around and the only box I had was 40x20x18 and it would fit everything with a whole bunch of wood bracing. It came out to 140lbs. I got a quote from FedEx and UPS. One company was $940 and the other was $1020. The guy was like, “yea I’ll keep looking thats way too much money.”...

Question, have you ever shipped a bench grinder? The power bronze one I have listed locally on FB market and local pickup on eBay. Someone one from Minnesota is very interested in it and I tried to explain shipping is going to be a lot of money. They still want it. All I know is I would need...

That’s the same one as mine! I didn’t think there were any others out there. And that is the same year as mine 1966.

You can clean it up, and perhaps find a better switch solution than that. I know it’s large switch opening to fill but something better can be done. Quench tray can be found on market place or eBay only downside is they rattle a lot. Unless you always have water in it. You can also make...

If you were thinking of red here is how a Delco bench grinder was painted from the factory. The original red wasn’t glossy though.

I want to try this as I’m not sure if it is a close match or not.

Sorry to say but they are. I still hold onto the original NP bearings that came with the grinders. In fact I hold onto all Made in USA bearings. Most of the time you can clean them out and repack them and they are just as good.
