To let you know your grinder was made in December of 1931. Hope everything goes well. Take your time and enjoy refurbishing it. When it is brought back to life I'm sure it will have a hell of a story to tell.

Yes! It is "true" there is a lot of **** tools from China and Taiwan, but for the last 40 to 50 years that is what people have wanted.

I meant to say may have.

Yea! I gott'a agree with some of the posts here. I am sorry if you are having issues with your grinder, but I do agree that I would check and try a few thing before I would replace it. Sometime it is the overall quality of the product that is reflected in it's "performace". If you are looking to...

How I got the wheels off of my '75 Craftsman grinder after I purchased it was I tilted the grinder in a vertical position and than used WD-40 on the nut and let it soak in for about an hour than a few more squirts and an hour or two of being saturated in WD I was able to free the nut off of the...

I hope this helps you out. It really is a simple design and any electric motors (Capacitor starting) wiring diagram can also help you out. Take Care.

First You need to start with the hot wire form cord (Black) to one side of the switch than another wire from the other side of the switch to the capacitor than from the capacitor to the "start/run" lead to the motor than from the motor to the white (Nuetral) wire from the power cord as this...

You are right that is model was marketed and only to be sold in Canada. Also the C315 in the model number means that it is a Roybi made grinder for Canada. U.S models do not have any letter "code" before the mfg number. The serial number indicates the year and week and sequence of mfg. "92" =...

First you say that the "housing" was cracked. Where? It can be fixed with some JB Weld-It. As for the shaft. I'm not sure how something like that can get "warped" in the course of shipping. It may have been warped during usage. What year was it made as I would need to see the label and I can...

Sounds to me your switch has a short in it and need to be replaced which is easy to do and not expensive all you need is a single pole (115volt or a double pole which is used for 230 volt.) single throw toggle switch which you can get practically anywhere for around 8 to 12 dollers.

Yes! And hello how much do you charge to do a Sears Craftsman Commercial bench grinder and where can I e-mIL YOU TO SEND YOU A Jpeg of the sticker.

Also! Your grinder was made in January of 1967 by Baldor Electric Co. B-6701 the 4 is a Plant number and was made in Ft. Smith Arkansas. Also! As I said in my previous post Sears did NOT sell too many of them. They sold the 6" and 7" models as there most popular ones.

On "cheap" Chinese made motors you would be better off buying a vintage grinder that has a capacitor starting motor. Since this is a "split-phase" motor and split-phase motors now (2024) are obsolete because they aren't as "energy-efficient" as capacitor start motors. Sometimes with split-phase...

I would use a high temperature silicone based grease.
