Blackhawke Bench Grinder?

[Bull]

What the heck? I have never heard of this brand before, but doing a Google search (and insisting that you want Blackhawke and not Blackhawk) does return hits for grinders and drill presses by this company. You fellas ever owned/seen anything from them?

Bringing this one back....

Local CL has BLACKHAWKE; Model: 50-6; All Ball Bearing; HP:1/2 bench grinder. Not much information on net. Anyone have any information on the grinder?

another bump for this. anyone know anything about them or where to get parts?
i got this grinder from my father probably 10 or so years ago and he doesnt remember when or where he got it.

its missing the outside wheel guard and the tool rest and id really like to find some replacements.

I remember seeing some Blackhawke tools in the 1980s. I think they were carried by Post Tool, a discount tool chain we had long before we got a Horrible Fright.

It's just a name though, like many of the Asian brands from that time that were probably all made in one factory and simply had different labels put on them before they were boxed and loaded into an ISO container bound for the US.

Parts from another Asian grinder of similar appearance will likely fit, regardless of the brand name.
