hey guys! just picked this up from a gov auction, going to get it monday so will know more then and I will have to get it up and running so I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions throughout that process... but I'm good at taking and posting pics and videos, so with your help I'm sure I can get through!!
First off, I know it needs a magnetic chuck... does it matter which one I get or not, as long as it's 6x18? I think I will only need fine pole since I will only be grinding small thin parts (like knife blade blanks). I am leerie about picking up a used chuck as I have read that you can damage it if you grind it with the chuck 'off'. I found this but really don't know if it will work or not? I'm planning on grinding both sides of the chuck once I get it as described in the Harig 618 manual.
I have inspected in person although not under power and it seemed well taken care of w/ oil still on the ways and such (smooth operation as well), but I didn't do any in depth examination or anything. But I am planning on changing out the way oil and the hydraulic oil for starters.
It seems like Harig switched from their own motors to Leeson at some point, can anyone confirm this?
