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

 Two nice bits of kit and top marks to Bob for the spirit of the gifts too ................. I would say you are more or less certain to go to heaven for that deed alone Bob  :clap: :clap: :bow: :bow: .................. I bet if Rob and John got snapped by a speed camera on the way home, they would have looked like two Cheshire cats in the front of the van  :lol:

P.S ..................... Have you planted a tool cutter grinder tree Bob  :beer:

  Cheers Mick.

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
