Abrasive surface grinders were a good machine.

It is a heavy beast.

That's an Abrasive 3B. When I saw that mag chuck I knew it had pretty large capacity, same as my old B & S No 5 at 8" x 24".

The door say 3B, but they could have been upgraded with a pressure lube system. Makes me wonder if that's what that 2nd power button is. I'd really like to have a look at that machine, so of course its 1400 miles away .

I used to live by the golf course there about 12 years ago, I am still near the area. Not really the lathe I am looking for but if I hear of someone looking for one of these items I will point them this direction.

Thank you. I would hate to see these scrapped.

that surface grinder would be perfect, as im just on the canadian side, just a pain in the butt as I can't get over the border currently.

What sort of time frame before they'd be scrapped ?

When i checked the specs, i wanna say the grinder is about 3000 lb. You mentioned and overhead crane, any chance there's a fork lift on site that could put in an LTL carrier's truck ?

I am sure arrangements could be made with the owner.

See the third photo from my post about the 16" SB lathe to see a photo of the crane. I don't think there is a fork lift available. Might be able to drop it on a lift gate though.

Not yet. Interested?

Have a potential customer for the Index mill coming in from Oregon.

I would love to own that grinder. Floor space and logistics are killing me at the moment. Please tell me you want it, so I can quit thinking about it.

I'm afraid not, called the seller yesterday and he didn't want to sell for the $200 price shown above. Wouldn't give a price and said make an offer. After looking around on marketplace I don't think much above 200 was worth it so didn't bother making an offer as it appears to be missing some of it's parts like the end shields for grinding dust.

 

[michiganbuck]

Up and running it would be worth well over $200, but not tested not worth very much.
looks like a big wheel grinder, so expensive wheels for a small shop guy.

A variety of wheels is good for a small shop/home shop guy.
7 or 8" x 1 1/4 is good.

Id get more than 200 for the mag chuck.....the grinder is a useful size too.....unless its wore right out, busted from moving,it d go $1k here .
