Fairly recently I was getting towards the end of getting my lathe together, and was thinking about a tool grinder. I had seen what looked more or less like bench grinders with miter tables on them and was considering going that route. In looking around I came across two old tool grinders made in the USA and though I'd try going that route. This being one of them.
In the end I thought the restoration might be fun, plus I think the machines will be a bit more interesting. Being heavier industrial types won't hurt either I'm thinking.
The other grinder is by Standard Electrical Tool Co. I posted something on it a while back, and in that thread I also showed some pics of this Hammond machine. Anyway this will be my Hammond grinder thread. I plan on tearing this down all the way and building it back up, and I'm getting on it now. So will see how it goes, and I'll keep updates with pics and such.
