Anybody know anything about Gorton Grinders?

[Janderso]

The 265 is covered in Gorton's 1940 catalog.
I see my rotary table in there as well. I didn't know it was that old.

I reiterate, this grinder is made to sharpen D bits only, and would be of no use for end mills, period.

Well,,, the auction started at 10am EDT, and like a dimwit I only check in here at 8am...
Yep Mr. York is correct. I figured out after the fact that the PO sharpened bits for the Roland engraver plus three other duplicators that he had.
Price was not bad, perhaps I can flip it or perhaps start up a 'D' bit sharpening service...
Heck of a sale. It was a old school print shop. Honey bought two 'Stichers' to use as yard art plant hangers.
And I scored a couple of cast iron old old cast iron pieces. Plus a Johnson Bar (finally). stay tuned for picts.

What did it sell for?

What did it sell for?

Fairly reasonable, now I have to flip it...
If but had I checked here before bidding.
