Blue Point Bench Grinder

[Foreman05]

Blue Point BG333E came up for sale here locally. Couldn’t find any data on this model specifically so I figured I’d ask here. It is strikingly similar to the Dayton I just picked up but the Blue Point is only 1/3 hp. The person wants $80, what do yall think?

I don’t think I’d get rid of the Dayton being its 3/4 hp but I do like to restore vintage tools.

Made in USA Doerr. They also supplied Dayton.

Agreed, made by Doerr Electric, but not all Blue Point were. Some were made by Wissotta such as my 3/4hp version that is set up for buffing.

I plan on setting up my Dayton as a buffer as well. Did you just buy one of these spindles and call it a day?
