Dumore Tool post grinder

[FatherWes]

I picked this up in an estate sale a friend was conducting. I saw it briefly in a video call and said I’d take it as part of a kind of package deal with a bunch of other ‘stuff’. I thought it was some kind of antique Dremel. I didn’t really get to look at it until I got it home when I discovered the clamp and tool post arm.
Seems to work great!

No belt! 17k rpm direct drive motor. Nice.

My dad years ago brought to my home a rather large pensil grinder, it was a Dumore 1/4HP 25,000 RPM, was given to him by a neighbour that was moving into an apartment. I made up a mount to use on my lathe to true Chilled Cast Iron tappered bearings on the John Deere 1953 Model 40 Crawler. Worked great.
