The tool rests have been MIA forever.

I'll take the orange one to my sons barn-----it's good for wire wheelin' and just touchin' up carbides (that's a "green" wheel).

Most likely get it swapped out tomorrow.

Definitely seems like you needed a new one.
My 1958 Craftsman block grinder has only one tool rest, and the hub ? That surrounds the wheel on one side busted one me one day when my shoddy diy stand fell over.
Oh well, it's 60+ years old and still going strong. It's rusty as hell but still works great.

I can see why you would do that swap. Curuous to see how the new one stacks up with one of your old classics.

I'll tell ya what Harlan this baby in my opinion, is a-----a true 1 Hp. I mean she's up to speed like right now. And if you try to stall it, then you're just TRYING to stall it. I did some pretty heavy grinding on a 3/8" plate------and it was saying---"That's all ya got"  ;D

I would say it's on par with the 3/4hp 6" Crafty right behind it.  :)


Did I ever show you guys my mobile grinder Island?
The grinders go where the work is.
And that's the top of an old mig welder (I scrapped), hanging on the side. I throw that on top of the saw horses------perfect portable table. ;D
