I headed out Friday morning to St. Petersburg, FL to pickup a surface grinder, I found on Craigslist. It's an older 120 vac Central Machinery benchtop model with a magnetic chuck for $400. It's an 8 hour drive each way, but I thought it was worth the drive, a new unit similar to this one from Enco without a mag chuck is going for $2,500.00.
I made it back home by about 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning and had the surface grinder unloaded and setup on the stand by 12:30 p.m.
This morning I clean and lubed it and got the "One Shot Lube System" back in operation. I ground one side of a piece of scrap steel I had and it worked pretty good. The guy I bought it from could not find the spanner wrenches for changing the stone. I guess I will end up ordering the wrenches from Grizzly. I found the manual for mine on the web and downloaded the manual for the small grizzly surface grinder and the look to be the same unit. The Grizzly manual has a lot better information in it.
Here's a couple of pic's
