Hello,
I picked up the below tool at a tool sale for next to nothing. The guy I bought it from didn't know what it was built for and neither do I. I cleaned it up and shot it with some paint.
It is extremely well made by a company called Starlight. I sent them pictures and they didn't offer much help other than to say they no longer make it and it was to grind angles. I can't believe it was made for that specific purpose.
My best guess it was to sharpen some type of tooling. As you can see, the table tilts to 35 degrees and the miter fence also is adjustable.
It has a very nice die grinder that the activation button on it locks so that it can remain on without having to hold the button down.
Second question, the end of the grinder has 3/8 - 24 threads in it. I screwed a collet, from a different grinder I have, in it -but because the threaded hole is not deep enough into the end, it will not squeeze the collet. Do you think it is made for a chuck? Any ideas what I can use to make the grinder usable?
