Bought this today. A 1968 Fortuna Universal Cylindrical Grinder. Came with manual, two types of collets and taper attachments. Has the steady rest and work head. Inspected the ways a little and they are in great shape. The work head would not budge so I removed one of the plain bearings and it was a little oil that seems to be turned into resin which came off with my fingernail. The plain bearings look great and the bearing surfaces are not gouged and show very little wear.
All I have to do is re-wire for 220, and replace the oils.
This thing is very "universal" somewhere there is a internal grinding attachment that would go with it. Other than that the work head swivels, the tables swivels, the grinding head swivels. Its only limitations seem to be work envelope and swing. It weighs 1900lbs and was a pain to get of the trailer myself, I gotta find a better way. to move machinery.
According to the manual it has sometype of automatic feed to rough finish and sparkout without touching anything. The dials are marked .001mm.
