Hey there guys I got a brown and sharpe #13 from a fellow on the forum not long ago and I’m finally getting set to use it.
Seems like along the way the sheetmetal for flood coolant happened to get misplaced.
Coolant tank and pump I think I can manage although if anybody has something decent for sale I may be interested.
Does anybody have one of these grinders with the original coolant option? If you do would you be able to take some good pictures of your way covers and some basic measurements?
This machine has the bolts behind the table where the wide pan was I believe there may have been another cover or 2 but not sure about that.
Another question I couldn’t find an answer to
Is mist coolant suitable for cylindrical grinding? Or is flood pretty much required?
I have zero experience running a cylindrical grinder so I’m taking on a few projects so I’ll be ready when the time comes that I actually need to grind something.
Wheel selections for 8620 carborized? Also a2 around 58-60hrc and s7 in similar hardness? Looking to pickup a few 32A46I wheels 7”x1/2 from what I’ve read that will get me started. Are 3/4” and 1” wide wheels better? Or is 1/2 all I need? All the other cylindrical grinders I’ve seen always have real big 12” or 15” wheels.
I know lots of questions if you have any answers I’d appreciate all the help I can get.
