Title: Iron Transfusion
Post by: gtermini on September 25, 2020, 11:15:53 PM
Been trying to hold off feeding The Sickness lately, but this tickled the right spot. Watched it on the list for almost a month before I succumbed to the urge today and came home 4 bills lighter.

18" Hisey-Wolf 5HP 1150 rpm pedestal grinder. Shows 440/480V, but I'll pull it off the base and see if there's any low voltage wires hiding up in the case. Probably about 1k lbs with the piece of 1-1/2 plate bolted on the bottom.

I know pedestal grinders are mostly just a dick swinging contest, but it's one of my guilty pleasures to partake in, so if you have a bigger one, post it up.  :-*

Better get your compass out and check for a change in magnetic north. You may have just altered the planets ability to navigate with that chunk of iron.

Nice work!

The left wheel is getting pretty small. There's some 18" scotch brite deburring wheels on ebay for under $100, so it might get one of those on it. Norton wants $960 plus freight for a single wheel  :-\

Nice grinder Jab. I need to move the switch up top, mount some lighting, and make a tool tray with quench pot for it like yours.
