Hager tool grinder

I also own a Hager tool grinder like yours that has been waiting a long time for me to clean up and get back in service.
I can’t help with a manual for it but if you are not familiar with the operation of this type of machine if you may have an easier time finding one for an Agathon like those shown here .

Agathon grinder — Ameriswiss Technology
By what I can see the Hagers with ball bearing wheel spindles were a less expensive version of the Swiss made Agathons have bronze bearings with drip feed oilers .
They were marketed mostly to owners of automatic lathes and screw machines for grinding their H.S.S. and brazed carbide tool bits.
I know a company near me that has an Agathon and it is a nice machine with larger wheels and I believe can be equipped with more accessories that I’m not familiar with than the Hager .
I can’t remember what they cost but they are certainly not something that the average general shop could afford to buy new. as a general purpose tool grinder.
I bought my Hager at an auction for less than a replacement diamond wheel would cost so I don’t have a lot in it .
Since I bought it the work I hoped to use it for has changed and I’m getting by with the machine it was going to replace until I get more time to work on it.
I found a couple of threads about Agathons here
