Schauer Bench Grinder

[waltinbatonrouge]

Hello all..its been a while....
I decided to updrade my little Delta 6" grinder when i saw this bad boy
It appears to be a Schauer Model D3 with 10" wheels
Schauer Machine company also made the "Electrox Rectifier" brand products

So I wasn't surprised to see the 4 big diodes behind the power switch..
So its actually a big DC motor that turns the 10" discs....and appears to have been built during WWII

It purrs like a kitten has 2 grease cups and weighs 100# lbs.
I bought it for $80, well less than the price on a decent new 8" Chinese grinder
here are some pics....

Can anyone share any other information about other Schauer Machine Company products I did read that they only made them for a couple of years.



thanks again waltinbatonrouge

Hey Walt I know what you mean by bad boy grinder. I purchaced one at an Auction a while back, it's a Schauer Model 50734 I was not familier with the brand, and when I got it home and plugged it in I could not believe how smooth this thing ran.
I checked it out on the net and was quite impressed, to bad you can't still find this quality hardly anywhere any more.
Mine is missing the left shield cover, if anyone out there knows where a fellow might find one, would sure like to know about it, or where a man could find parts for this Model.

Any info would sure be appreicieated
Kenny
