6" Grizzly surface grinder

[ELHEAD]

Can someone tell me anything about this tool. Found one on C list no pics , no numbers or detailed description . Price $50.
thanks Dave

I guess if it a complete machine and did not fall off of a truck or something, then for 50 bucks you could hardly go wrong. It's worth almost that in scrap value.

Thanks Jim, I will make a call tomorrow and check it out

For that kind of money I'd bet on it being a 6" snag grinder.

Snag grinder? Not familiar with the term, please explain.

Snag equals Bench, A motor on a stand (or not) with a wheel on each end.

I'd be surprised if it actually was a surface grinder. I looked for over 2 years to find 6 X 12 surface grinder in decent shape. I ended up shelling out a lot more than $50.00 when I finally found one that fit the bill. If it really is a surface grinder and is in reasonable condition it'll be the least expensive one I've ever heard of.

Agreed. It does sound a bit strange, and like you I suspect it is not actually a surface grinder. On the other hand I just bought a 6x18 DoALL hydraulic in pretty good condition for $250 two weeks ago, so there are some crazy deals out there.

Grizzly G2790 Universal Knife Grinder. Will bring planer (wood) knives up to 20". I can use it. Thanks for the replies.

I have one of those Grizzly grinder things. I think they are worthless for sharpening planer/jointer knifes. You will not get a straight keen edge with it. I would not waste car gas on it, my two cents...Dave
