Wow. That is some nice grinder. That should get the rough edges off a few bits (pun intended). Looking forward to seeing more when you have had a chance to get it sorted. :D :D
Cheers :beer:

Hi there, Rob and Bob,
That looks like a useful bit of kit. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: You guys must have bigger workshops than my 12' x 8' though! :bang: :bang: :bang:
A historical comment, if I may: The rating plate in your first photo, Rob, says that Alexander is 'a Coubro + Scrutton Company'. Before I retired I worked in radio and electronics and I also hold an Amateur Radio licence. In both professional and hobby capacities, I came into contact with a firm called 'C & S Antennas' who, as their name suggests, designed, made and erected radio aerials. These were of all shapes and sizes but included the tall guyed lattice towers used by broadcasting companies.
The connection that I found interesting was that Coubro & Scrutton, their parent company, were originally in the business of masts & rigging for tall sailing ships. You can see how some of those skills would transfer from the old to the new.

Hi
Lads
As you will have read I had a run down to Bobs last night
As we were looking at Robs latest treasure , Bob chirped up with the phrase "yours is different and single phase"
After a few brews and a bit crack we left
Bob rang me today informing me that my grinder was waiting for me .
After work it was back down the A1
This is what he had for me :drool: :drool: :drool:
Thanks Bob

Hi
Lads
Cleaned the grinder up a bit
The motor is not very quiet I stripped it and cleaned the bearings re packed with grease
A lot better (the bearings are specials)
I turned up a couple of bosses and mounted a green wheel
A bit play with a 60 deg threading tool very happy with the results
