I've been digging through the remains of a closed shop. I pulled out a few manuals here and there including one for a Blanchard no.11 which I have no use for. There is a note that the manual is for serial no. 6323 to help date it.

Post a picture of your Blanchard no. 11 and I'll send you the manual free.
 
Good question,
I bet if these ancient machines have ben kept in this condition, the home is as good as any working machine shop! :)
 
me, i'll take it!!!

Hey, I bought that very machine yesterday! Blanchard Grinder No.11 Serial #6323.
I've been told that it is a 1947 vintage machine. It was taken out of a company that ground optics for telescopes.
The wiring seems to be unusual, in that there is no control box. When it was removed, 4 wires went from a conduit on the machine to a disconnect on the wall. Is there a chance I could get you to scan the wiring pages and send them to me?

This one has a diamond wheel, which I don't think I can use. Where is the best place to get a new grinding wheel?
