Hello, Does anyone know anything about this grinder. I’m wondering if it has any collectible value? I’m debating if I should keep it around and if it’s worth restoring? It runs good and works well but I rarely use it. Thanks

“Collectible Value”
Doubtful.
Value as a decent grinder.
Yes.

It’s a single phase 115/230 volt grinder, which can basically be used in any shop that has standard 120v 15 amp sockets.
The guards and tool rests are cast, which is unusual to find on “modern” bench grinders, except fairly expensive ones.
It’s a 10” grinder, and is likely “Industrial Grade” and even inexpensive industrial quality grinders are expensive nowadays.
This 10” grinder from Grizzly, that is now discontinued, was likely the closest in quality from an imported brand.
An equivalent Baldor is double plus the price of the former Grizzly.

Thanks for the info. I’ll probably not keep it if it’s not ‘collectible’. Would you mind offering your opinion on a fair selling price?

The market for premium 120V-capable grinders has basically disappeared and been flooded by cheap grinders that more often than not are sufficiently capable.
As a result, the Baldor-grade bench grinders are hard to find a rather expensive.
