Eagle Surface Grinder

One HP I have an eagle here and it's more than adequate. You stall the wheel first and burn the job sooner than run out of power. You can just push 2 thou a pass with a rough wheel.

1 HP, 2800rpm I suppose? c

Whats the max grinding area

Thanks Andrew

A 14" x 6" chuck fits on with a little extra at the ends for clamping.

Andrew, it looks like you have the 3W model which has the oversized guards on the table to prevent splash from wet grinding. The grinding capacity on this is listed as 15" x 5" but you would probably get a bit more by cutting the guards back.

Another thing to be aware of is that on this model and up the base and column are cast in one lump IIRC, so you can take off the table, knee, and head, but that still leaves an awful big lump of cast iron to shift around. On the Mk1 & 2 the column and base can be split up.

I have the same model grinder or at least generic enough to look like it and mine has a 18 x 6 mag table on it and you can get all over the table.

You could well be right John, I was just going by all the sales blurb I bought from Tony at lathes.co.uk mistakenly thinking it was a manual:) I can get aboout 16" x 6.5" out of my Mk2 which lists max at 15" x 6", whilst the Mk3 is listed at 18" x 6", the 3w is listed at 12" x 5" or

15" x 5" depending if it's a Dronsfield or Victa, while the 3A is listed at 24" x 6".

Probably all more than adequate for what we need them for, and whatever size they are it's a very handly little grinder to have tucked away in the corner.
