That Kent grinder looks really good. The RF looks tired but good be good.
 
Hmm I always assumed 40's were pillar column & 45 were dovetail. Guess not.
my bad, I think it is a pillar hiding in the pic?

Yes someone should grab that grinder. We need lots & lots of grinders in our little community LOL
 
RF40's are round column gear head mills. RF45 are square column.
 
I saw these last night. Then I saw the 18% buyers fees and the 12% tax and I was done. Add to that the shipping to SK it would have to go cheap on the mill for it to be worthwhile for me.
 
Reidco made a bunch of parts for Western Star Trucks for years before Freightliner moved production to Oregon. No way to tell if that mill is R8 or MT3?
