Cincinnati No 2 Cutter Grinder Restoration

[Brent H]

That is a bummer. Mine is a 240 three phase. My cutter/grinder came from a small sharpening shop near Brantford so perhaps the motor had been changed? Since you need a new motor you can just go with a 120 or 220 single phase as the grinder should only run in one direction and the belt rail offers 2 speeds.

I have a pdf of the manual and several other manuals on the tools. If you PM me with your emails I can set you up. I should be up and running mine in a few weeks. Sorting out the shop has taken quite a bit of time and the sharpener took a bit of a back seat.

Thanks Brent, the easiest suitable motor to source here is a 3 phase. All the single phase ones that I could find are only 1400 rpm unless I go 2HP or bigger. We have a very small market in Australia so our choices are always limited.

Hi Brent, thanks for the offer. I had to look on line what a #2 tool sharpener looked like, only to realize that I have #1. Apparently these being smaller were often purchased for school training purposes and I
the fellow that I purchased it from picked them up from Barton High School on the Hamilton Mountain. With that in mind I started looking for the manual that it came with and found it in a filing cabinet at home.

I took pictures, see below. Judging by the condition, I don't think anyone ever looked at them as there is not a dirty finger print to be found. The sharping instruction, well that is a different matter.

TonyK.
