Is this a Baldor Grinder?

[exmaxima1]

New Year's eve morning, getting ready for the party, and found a heavy stand with grinder on CL. Minutes away so I grab for $30.

I wanted the stand for my 3/4hp block, but the attached grinder looks pretty decent. No label and several coats of brushed on paint so I can't tell for sure what it really is, but it has several Baldor cues. Not real heavy, and from the bottom it looks like it was originally RED color.

Is this a 6-inch Baldor?

Yes, with 90%+ confidence

I'd say most definitely. Companies like Delta/Rockwell also sold re-badged Baldor's at one time. Looks like a 1/3HP 3600 RPM model. Baldor made cast iron guards in both exhaust and non-exhaust versions.
