My most recent CL tool purchase- Grinder

[fury9]

Just thought I'd post some pics of my new to me grinder. Please excuse the mess- I'd been eying it on CL for a month.Add just said, grinder-one of a kind.He was asking 145 for it so I talked him down 5 bucks and had him throw in some brand new American made files. Any body seen these light bulbs around? They are about the size of a ping-pong ball but have the regular sized base,Sorry no pic of those.Grinder came with a new grinding wheel,new wire wheel,stand and water tray. It's kinda cool that it has a key to turn it on and off. Oh and I found some kind of brake system inside as I could not figure out why the wheels were hard to turn I thought a bearing was bad or something was binding. I didn't know these things had brakes. I've already started to repaint.

Let me say you picked up a wonderful old bench grinder they don't make them like that anymore. That one will last you for many years to come and then some. Around my area all I see are cheap ones coming from China so you did very good !
