Restoring/repair Craftsman 397.19391

Hartunian · May 2, 2020

I like to think of myself as a DIYer and browsing ebay, i managed to obtain a Sears Craftsman 1/3 H.P. Bench "Block" Grinder. It is in somewhat rough looking condition with several missing pieces.

This is the first restoration I've done and I look forward to getting my hands dirty with getting it in working/clean condition.

I am not so prideful about saying that I could use some help on this project of mine. Suggestions to improve the grinder as well as ideas on where to find/buy the missing parts would be a major help.

Ebay has plenty of parts for Craftsman block grinders. There are also a few members here that have stock piles of parts. Have a look at the Craftsman Block Grinder thread and you'll have everything you're asking for here.

Good luck on your project. Post pictures here along the way.

I've done a few, but have not had to do any mechanical or electrical. Like Horse said, head over to the block grinder thread.
