You'll love it. I'm already wondering what I did before getting my 0-1 and 1-2! Mikey is quite the enabler!

Bought this today. A 1968 Fortuna Universal Cylindrical Grinder. Came with manual, two types of collets and taper attachments. Has the steady rest and work head. Inspected the ways a little and they are in great shape. The work head would not budge so I removed one of the plain bearings and it was a little oil that seems to be turned into resin which came off with my fingernail. The plain bearings look great and the bearing surfaces are not gouged and show very little wear.

All I have to do is re-wire for 220, and replace the oils.

This thing is very "universal" somewhere there is a internal grinding attachment that would go with it. Other than that the work head swivels, the tables swivels, the grinding head swivels. Its only limitations seem to be work envelope and swing. It weighs 1900lbs and was a pain to get of the trailer myself, I gotta find a better way. to move machinery.

According to the manual it has sometype of automatic feed to rough finish and sparkout without touching anything. The dials are marked .001mm.

Oooooohhhh. Aaaaahhhh! I like itl Looks like it didn't really get that much use judging by the controls and buttons. Looking forward to seeing how you get along with it.
Oh, and I have no idea what those collets are, sorry.

I’ve been looking for a small compact universal od grinder for a bit. But that’s a nice one hope you get years of good service from it.

What does anyone know about Chevalier FSG-2A618 Automatic Surface Grinder. It is only 6"x18" work surface travel.
