American Forge & Foundry model 608 bench grinder?

[bliorg]

Hi all -

Need an 8” grinder. Found the subject model on Marketplace for $80, though I’m guessing would get for $55-60. It’s older but runs, but I can’t find any info online about this model. Anyone have/had/used one? Worth it? Thanks!

No, old model, but that’s the right parts list. Thanks for that!

I recall that Harbor Freight has the 8" Bauer grinder at $99 regular price. Same HP rating IIRC. Has a light and the cast aluminum tool rests also. Might check it out.
