    @Gennady I have the gear grinding attachment and the 10” saw blades fit well with a spacer plate to lift them up and then the finger sits centred. Without the attachment above the setup for saw blades takes some home made mods to the base plate of the work head - this piece is standard and...

    @JohnH the work head has 2 felt rings that retain oil to keep things lubed and yes, extra oil leaks out. There is a slot screw in the housing to add the oil. Parts 366 are the felts.

    I would think it is a No1. Mine is a No2 and is quite different in many aspects:

    @Gennady I know what most of the items you have are (mostly because I am making them…ugh!) but you have some great stuff! The radius turning head and the standard work head will be great! Looks like you also may have the base for the saw sharpener (doing circular saw blades etc) and you have...

    So, having a sharpener is … amazing!! After several years, the rebuild, the move and now having it running is super great! Lots of bushings, jig parts and other items to make as I go but …. Ten inch saw blades for the wood stuff and …. Rotary grinding old worn slitting saws back to...

    Anyone recognize this indexing head/fixture? It doesn’t match the Cincinnati No2 parts but seems to need some other pieces.

    Two items I did not have for the grinder was the pin wrench and a spanner so you could tighten up the wheels! I also made up some extra “nuts”’for the wheels shafts and they are kinda odd as the pin hole spacing corresponds to 45 mm. So here was yesterday and today’s grinding project. Both...

    So I have located a bunch of the pictures I had originally posted so here they are in no particular order but all dealing with the Cincinnati No2. perhaps this will spurn on some questions. In all I rebuilt everything except the grinding head and the motor as things were and are running fine...

    The gear I have: This book: Has a good chapter on sharpening: I also have a PDF of another Cincinnati publication on various accessories and their use. I am currently making a few missing parts so I can get grinding properly.

    @JohnH - yes, I took the work head all apart and then some. I had to weld the base all back together and I have mine filled with oil, not grease. Spins very easy. Mine is a 50 taper and I have a number of adapters- the main one is an OZ 32 collet set. Also other adapters for saw wheels and...

    Only about a month and a half and we get to have some fun!!! How long is your piece of 1.25? 3 thou on a cut might suggest you need a tweak in the tailstock - dial that in, and then run a light pass. Your “grinding” of the piece may also be causing some issues as it runs against the follow...
