Dayton bench grinder question

[Rick B.]

A friend of a friend says he's selling a "large" 3/4 h.p. Dayton grinder Mod. #4z707. I can't find that model on line and the only one I can find that looks like it is a model 1z707 listed as 1/3 h.p.

Anybody familiar with model 4Z707 or know if the 1Z707 also comes in a 3/4 horse version? He claims it works fine. Any guess on value? Thanks in advance.

Dayton is a Grainger house brand, and consists of imported stuff (at least now - I suppose Dayton stuff that's a few decades old might be US-manufacture).

Here's a product page for a Dayton 1Z707 3/4 HP bench grinder that looks like yours, only it's cleaner and newer:

There's a ton of references on Google for Dayton 1Z707 (including a link to this forum regarding a Dayton 1Z707S).

I just bought a Dayton 3/4 HP, 8" grinder, model 1Z707. Looks like yours, but it's in great condition. I will be posting more pics in the "Vintage Grinder" sticky. I think it's from the late 70s to 80s. Not sure, but probably not older than that.
