I have a manual 6x12 challenger. Mounted on factory stand factory automatic oiler. Doesn’t have the factory vac setup but I made one. Also made a coolant setup but rarely use. I use the grinder a lot usually for every project to get that grind finish. I have a plethora of wheels and hubs and I keep Them on the hubs till their done.

Had a Deluxe manual for at least 5 years. Auto oiler, no built in vac, running on vfd. Manual chuck. Half dozen Sopko hubs. Use it often, and works good enough for what I do as hobby.

I made an insulated wood cabinet for the separate shop vac to cut the noise, made a metal cyclone that mounts to side of cabinet. It sits 3 feet from the grinder, and easy to have conversation with vac running.

I just recently sold my 6-12 Deluxe. It had the dust collection cabinet underneath the grinder. It was a manual machine. It would have been a decent machine if the ways were not in such bad shape.

I have a 6-12 Deluxe manual with the auto oiler.

I went to buy a standard well used 6-12, but when I got there it was on the floor in pieces. It was being returned to the seller for some reason and the people delivering it dropped and broke it.

I wound up with the Deluxe as I had travelled some distance, and the seller was someone I knew through channels and felt bad.

Paid $300 and it is in very good shape.

I hope to scrounge up the Hydraulic components and convert it.
