just an Old grinder

[Mark914]

Picked up this old Grinding wheel from my father's neighbor. (free woohoo)
Common old grinding setup, but this one has a built in adjustable tool rest which i haven't seen too often on these things. The motor is a westinghouse with a 2-17-36 date.

Yes, that tool rest is pretty unique, actually the whole grinder is. Might want to do some fine tuning of the belt alignment. I'm sure they'd love to see the grinder and motor over at OWWM.org if you were so inclined.

I haven't seen a dished wheel before, I wonder why?

Nothing useful, but your title made me think of the Alan Jackson song.

I was wondering the same thing. I would be worried about chunks of the "lip" flying off as the wheel wears down.
