I have a confession, I have been on a buying spree................
These items were purchased so I had something to play with over the summer holidays.
The photos are just after it landed in my garage.
Part 1 is the surface grinder the maker is unknown to me so please if you can help i would appreciate any input.
Cost $1000.00usd you don't get a lot of single phase Surface Grinders in New Zealand unless you buy brand new, hence the story so far.
It is 3 phase and I intend to convert to 240Volt the motor has been purchased already, it has a German magnetic chuck 14X6" Walker-Hagou NV this chuck seems to hold plate better than some I have used in the past in fact it's hold strength amazes me.
I was not intending to do a rebuild story but as it is now out in the public domain, I will post pictures as I go, hope it does not put you all to sleep.
The grinding head is already dismantled, and new bearings fitted, and I cut slots in the main shaft for the allen bolts to lock into instead of just biting into the outer shaft.
Anyhoo as the other guys say, this is the first part of my confession.
Kindest Regards
