Large surface grinder-craigslist

a little bit north, (glendale) we have

Surface grinders aren't worth crap I've been trying to sell an 8 x 24 for $400 and it will not sell, the chuck is worth $600. I'm going to cut it up for scrap and just save the chuck.

I did buy an absolutely beautiful Brown and Sharpe Techmaster 8 x24 for $2000 about a year ago. So low prices can be good too.

Thank You, Randy

Surface grinder market is not what it used to be.

I was at a factory recently, and the owner was begging me to take a Boyar-Shultz surface grinder for $100, but I had to decline as my truck was full.

I remember the days when no one had surface grinders. My dad shaved the heads of maybe 60% of the V8-60 racecar engines west of the Mississippi. He made a gig that screwed into the sparkplug holes and he could chuck up the head. Racers sent him lots of heads. When Flycutters came out, that business quickly died.

Landis made various surface grinders..but based on the info..it sounds far more like an OD grinder. Which Landis made their name on. Good stuff Maynard.

You could easily retrofit a control to this machine and have yourself an excellent grinder for $3K or maybe less.

That indeed IS a surface grinder.

One sees far more Landis OD grinders than Surface Grinders. I almost brought one home from the factory I just tore down...but didnt have a truck big enough to move it.

Looks like a nice grinder

It requires a floor space of 142 inches x 95 inches and a height of at least 84 inches. It is estimated that this unit is about 40 years old and includes:

• Coolant Reservoir * Pump and Filter * Hydraulic Tank and Pump

It requires 3 phase, 240 volts and weighs approximately 16,000 pounds."

Heck, 16,000 pounds of scrap at only 10 cents a pound would make a nice profit. 25 cents would make a really nice profit.

In california..they are paying .30 per pound in some places.

I agree, but it's too big for my shop. My B&S Techmaster has a Allen Bradley SLC500 PLC retrofitted in it. (I guess the factory Modicon died) This would be a good retro for this machine too, looks like all pinball logic in there now.

I'm in process of very slowly coming up with new programming for the SLC500 in mine, what's in there makes the machine go, but not really well.

I didnt see any indications that the grinder was dead in the first place. It may already be an exellent grinder.

Not really, just a bigger truck than I have. But I could tow the trailer with it.

So you would simply stick a dolly under it and move it out to the trailer?

Furniture dolly. :>) Or a bunch of Det cord to cut it up. May not work, but would be fun.

Condition of the unit:

• Electrical controls are damaged * Rapid table jog buttons are not working * Auto-Cross Feed is not working * Gibbs and Ways were reconditioned in 2004 * Spindle runs * Table cycles left to right

not dead, but in need of some work, the first one makes me think a total rewire or retrofit might be needed.

Thank You, Randy
