Look at what followed me home.

Make: MTA-6 Surface Grinder
Manufacturer: DoALL
Model: 3X1341B

Seller stated it was working fine and then the hydraulic pump wouldn't start one morning. They decided to buy a new CNC grinder, must be nice. Bet I can have this running in about 30 minutes as soon as I wire it for 240 volt.

I really just bought it for the 6x18, fine pole, DoAll electromagnetic chuck. Over all it looks to be in good condition. I got it for scrap price. Now I have to decide whether to keep my Harvel or to keep the DoAll :makingdecision: Don't really need both.

This pic is from the ad. It's still sitting in the back of my truck, I'll get some better pics tomorrow when I unload it. That's the coolant pump sitting in the tray on the right under the feed wheel.

Man I hate when that happens! You should see my shop, as I have had so many tools follow me home that I can't fit them all in! Nice find!

I can't seem to get any to follow me home.

When I get back into my house, my shop will have more room. I'm really hoping one of those will follow me home.

Mark,
You are probably smart and never stop and look when there is a tools for sale sign. I have tried to not leave the house with any cash in my pocket, but I always seem to have a buddy with me that is willing to support my charitable efforts to find a home for every tool. Right now I have two compressors, a radial arm saw, a table saw, drill press, a shopsmith, a thickness plainer, a jointer and a bunch of hand tools stored in a buddies warehouse because I don't have any room in my shop! I am planning to have a big yard sale next month to get rid of as much of this stuff as I can.

Must be have been a sweet tax write off for them. Nice find, hope she serves you well for many years.

OK, I got it off the truck and sitting on the shop floor. Unfortunately that is where it is going to have to sit until I get time to do anything with it. I'll just move it over in front of the the other two grinders, that are just sitting there also. In about 2 weeks I should be caught up and will be able to play with my new toys.

I really need to wash my truck


Got it off with out breaking anything, this thing is heavy. 2000lbs maybe?
