It looks big, but I can't see it being 100lbs. My 1/2 H/P Craftsman block grinder isn't even 50lbs. Unless they are including the weight of the stand??

Anyone know the H/P and vintage? Those wheel guards/tool rests look pretty beefy.

Ok, that's a new one.

It must be one of the early ones.

saved the photo so we don't loose it.

great looking old grinder that is for sure. those guards are some of the best on a Craftsman I've seen and the shields are stylish too. i have my doubts it weighs 100 pounds and most sellers can't lift much more than 50 so they guess a lot higher to make them seem stronger than they are.

i have a Craftsman motor with that design that is a 3/4 HP and I've seen some that are 1/2 and 1 HP. did you get any specs. if you need a good grinder that one looks like a keeper even for $100 if it runs as good as it looks.

good luck

People can't tell weights at all...

Hmmm it's after 5 pm must be gone...

Go check it out and make an offer if its a 1HP!
