mistery bench grinder

Jun 26, 2005 4 Replies

I just bought an old and heavy duty looking grinder. It's probably 50 y.o., very heavy and runs pretty smooth. Arbor is relatively small - 1/2" It's is so much better than a cheap POS grinder I got from Costco!



There is no any brand name or spec plate on this old baby. Is there any key features to help estimate RPM and HP on this grinder? I can post a picture if it'll help.



Thanks!


Color? Shape of motor end bells? Type of rests in front of the wheels? Pic would really help. But not here. Got a picture site online? Try Webshots or Epson photo gallery

It's a single phase 110v grinder. Arbor has a short keyway on it.

Here is some pictures:
