surface grinder

Just wanted to share a clever solution to a seemingly difficult problem. I know I've seen this somewhere before onlin, but got a real up close look of thin magnetic clamps for odd shape or delicate work. For proprietary reasons, I cropped out all of the important stuff. Left the common...

A few weeks ago I picked up a REID 618-HR surface grinder, s/n 19573. It was a bit of an accidental auction purchase. There was only 1 bid at the low opening price so I bid the next increment for the hell of it...and nobody else bid. Oops! So now I have a 1600lb lump of cast iron that I barely...

Any chance anyone has come across this surface grinder before? I've been looking for a while but can't locate it. Trying to find a manual for it. I just purchased itfrom a guy on Craigs List. It seems to be in great shape. It appears to have been manufactured in 2006. From what the...

I rebuilt this a couple of years ago. as I bought it at the sellers location. before cleanup and restoration Either this paint was incredibly resistant, or the newer citristrip is not as good as the old... my opinion after doing a map cabinet this past spring was that citristrip is no...

Not mine, but I have an alert on my eBay search that was flagged this morning. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164659053987?ul_noapp=true Two things that make this an attractive deal. He is taking offers and is willing to ship freight if necessary. If I didn't already have one, I'd be making a...

I need a surface grinder for a project I'm about to resume and have had my heart and mind complete wrapped around the Sanford SG for a number of years now. Why? small and benchtop size - which is perfect for the size of parts and shop that I have and will continue to occupy. easy to move...

Im wanting to convert my 510 surface grinder to a coolant system. I picked up a coolant tank and pump but need to construct a containment shroud and return drain. B&S offered an optional coolant system for this unit but finding detailed pictures on how it was built is as rare as hens teeth...

1979 Boyar-Schultz H618 Challenger Surface Grinder

I came across a wonderful find on CL. a gently used 1979 Boyar-Schultz H618 surface grinder. this unit was purchased new by the previous owner and saw a good life. we pulled the table off and i inspected the ways, the ways are very nice indeed with only the very faintest signs of wear. the oil...

I have a horizontal rotary surface grinder that is used to flatten and sharpen many different items at the shop. I have a few different wheels that get used for different materials. I found a good deal on some wheels i haven't used in awhile. The problem is that the drive arbor hole is smaller...

I just bought a Covel 10 PH grinder and I have to ask...Does anyone own one of these? I found one or two references to this model but no information. I posted in another forum and got one response. I'd like to talk with anyone who owns a 10-PH, not the 10H

Recently I posted my method of grinding carbide in the Clarification on scraper sharpening thread in the Machine Restoration forum. I have received a number of inquires about the fixture I used in my video so I thought I'd make a quick video showing more details. Matt

Gunrunner you need to order a set of these for the Z axis hand crank. Bill did you just spit coffee on your monitor? :rofl:

Covel was purchased by Clausing, so this seems like the most appropriate category for this. Just a sales brochure, but it is helpful for understanding the capabilities of this impressive machine, and identifying accessories to track down.

I've just started a new project (famous last words...). I was able to get a LeBlond No. 2 Cutter Grinder for a VERY good price. I'll give you the good-news/ bad-news: Good-News: - Very little rust - Everything moves smoothly and easily - Almost no run-out, and very little play in the Y and Z...

Well, sort of... A few weeks ago, when I was making preparations to move my newly acquired Mill from the dealer to my newly forming machine shop, I figured I would troll Craigslist and see if there were any good deals on other machines. After all, if I was renting a truck I might as well fill...

Hi, Got myself a new machine for the shop. Any folks out there with experience on this type of machine? My background for getting this one is I have been looking for a universal grinder for some time. I have been investigating getting a chinese from Alibaba or ebay - but have passed I...
