Baldor 7307D restoration

[czeglin]

Got this busted and rusty grinder as industrial surplus for $100. Probably spent that much restoring it including bearings, all new cables and wiring, all stainless fasteners. Had to replace the sheet metal lamp brackets; fortunately I work at a water jet company so I was easily able to cut new blanks and then bend by hand with a torch. Took forever but I learned a lot.

The stand is worth $100, so you got a good deal to begin with. Restoration looks great.

Craigslist like all of my stuff [emoji28]
They also had a 3/4HP 8in in better shape. I actually bought this one as much for the pedestal as the grinder.
