Bench Grinder Refurb

[ducdon]

Scored an 8 inch bench grinder on Kijiji. American made Wissota Brand. It was supremely dirty after decades in a farm welding shop.
Clean up, new power plug, machined some new tool rests and supports, one new wheel. I got me a good commercial grade grinder for about $125
all in. I'm pleased.

I like the new tool rests.

Did it come with the stand?

NO. That was one I had another grinder on.

What did you do with your old grinder?
Was it any good?

It's a Canadian Tire 6". I will re-purpose it to use with drill grinding attachment I got awhile ago.

That looks like an interesting rig

I'll post result when I get it working. May be awhile. I'm slow!
