I have a Taft-Peirce No. 1 surface grinder, 5x10 table, 1/3 Hp. 3 phase

440 volt.

I also would like to know the age built.

K.O.Lee bought Taft-Peirce, the only documentation they have on my grinder is a poor copy of the exploded parts list. I have searched the web and was unable to find any additional documentation/manuals for it.

I would like to have a better understanding of how to maintain and use this surface grinder.

Richard.

Hello,I've posted a couple pix of my 1980 Taft-Peirce at if anyone is interested.  It is awork in progress but fitted with roller ways and one shot lube systemwe have possibilities for greatness here.  Lighter than the earliermodel 1, this machine has a base which is a very heavy welded steelfabrication with saddle and column of cast iron.  I'd like to findsales literature and schematics for any of these Taft-Peirce machines.Health and Peace,Al
