    New (to me) surface grinder

    Ya I have been wondering the same thing. Especially considering how deep it is I almost wonder if it was deliberate? made some sort of repetitive task easier? I would love to know what happened there. The pin wrench I have but not the removal tool. Like every machine we acquire, the machine is...

    So I have been working on my 10ee the last several months doing the usual repair as needed and clean and paint. I am at the point now where the mechanical parts are pretty well all back together and am starting to shift my focus to the covers/door that up to now have been untouched. I knew...

    New (to me) surface grinder

    Thanks. It doesn’t see much use. Mostly just for cultivating and side dressing the sweet corn in the garden. It was the wife’s grandfathers though so it is not going anywhere. Here is the table: It has an eclipse mag chuck on it As you can see there are two v-grooves ground into it...

    New (to me) surface grinder

    So move is done and shop is reorganized a bit now with the grinder in roughly what should be it’s living space for now. The move went well. I got there early and pumped out all of the old hydraulic fluid so it wouldn’t spill everywhere when it moved. I picked up a siphon pump at Canadian tire...

    New (to me) surface grinder

    Well I decided to take a chance on a surface grinder at Auction. It looks in decent condition in the photos, already 220V, and only 10min away from me. Hopefully I got a good deal on it assuming no major problems with it. https://sunrise.nextlot.com/auctions/1586150/lots/25216451 Now I just...

    The photo slow-poke posted of the good board has a 3.3k ohm resistor in the 333 spot instead of your 400ohm. That was what was throwing me off on the naming convention. That’s a big value change. As he said, resistors don’t typically fail on their own. Something is likely failed shorted to...
