I've been looking for an older 1/2 hp Craftsman grinder - but when I saw this set up I had to have it.
Here's the story: A guy bought this 1/3 hp grinder and attachments from the widow of the original owner. It was new in the box. He hooked up the grinder but never really used it. He offered it for $40 on Craigslist. No takers, so he lowered it to $30. Now I'll give it a good home. I'll still keep my eye out for a larger one but I really dig this one.
Here's the box:
I would guess that the 2-64 means that this was made in February of 1964?
Here's the sanding attachment:
None of this has been installed, the hardware and sanding discs are still in the original bags:
And here's the tool sharpener attachment. It's never been out of the box (the staples are still holding it together).
And finally, here's the grinder.
It wasn't even put together all the way.
The shatter proof glass stickers are still in place.
My only problem is that I'll feel a little bad if I actually use it.
