1/2 HP Block should I ?

[Retroman]

This 1/2 HP showed on CL for $25.00 I don't have a 1/2 HP looks like a good project. Missing the glass but could probably salvage some off of my other block grinder. Worth $25.00? Again a want not a need.

Yes a good deal so jump on it...and this is coming from a man who thinks they are the ugliest looking dogs out there (my opinion only), everyone else on the GJ thinks they are the Kat's meow!

It's ok... I would look for a better one. Look for rear exhaust and two piece tool rests.

25$? I would buy it. If nothing else for spare parts.

Light and switch are worth double that

That's super cheap.

Its easy to make a tool rest and you can order Dayton eye shields from Zoro that can be easily adapted to these grinders. You might even be able to order a quench pot from Sears.

An honest 1/2 HP is perfectly adequate for most tasks.

I have the same one. Its a good grinder. For $25 you really cant go wrong.

No question. Buy it. Like others have said, the spare parts are worth more than that.

Yup, I'll buy a 1/2-HP $25 Block any day.

Definitely take it. The wheels are worth more than that. But offer him $20 first. He'll most likely take is.

Really? An old 6-inch grinding wheel and wire wheel are worth more than $25? In the Chicago area they're worth about $3 total.

Yes. As mentioned the parts alone are worth it!
