Suggestions For Old Block Grinder

I too have many grinders set up for specific duties. One grinder I have set up with diamond lapidary plates. I use them for everything and have many different grits for the job. You’d have to make a hub backing plate but they work phenomenal. I made the backing plate out of a pc of aluminum 1/4 thick.

As for the SG problems that doesn’t look to bad to fix. If that were me I would replace the top piece that’s broke with a chunk of steel. Machining should be difficult. Looks like a rectangle block that should have some recessed mounting holes to bolt to the vertical upright. Then I’m sure there is a bore in the center for a cup and race bearing. Pretty basic machining. With the crack probably being around the bearing bore I wouldn’t recommend jb weld. If above your skill you can always remove and send it out to be duplicated. I’d be open to help if need be. Good luck.
