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. :-*

Holy shit! Jabber?!

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!

Wow -- "You win!" -- that's about as good as it gets.

That is a big'un for sure. Looks like it has some decent rocks on it so that saves some bills. :great:

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.

Damn, thats a monster.
-
What are the dimensions on the wheels?
-
18 x 3 x (1.5)? I'm not sure on the bore dia.
