I picked up a Ex-Cell-O carbide tool grinder awhile back from a on-line auction & I finally got around to cleaning it up & going through it. Luckily it appears that the spindle/bearings have been rebuilt & the bearings seem fine! So basically it just needed a good cleaning & some new paint.
My question has to do with the right-hand side table & the dial adjusters/indicators on the ends of the table. They are calibrated to .025" per turn of the dial & they seem to be set-up to read the amount of cut from the grinding wheel?
I've done a ton of searches & I haven't been able to find another tool grinder with this type of set-up?
I originally thought it may have been a shop made addition, But the table is a casting & has a part# cast into it. The head casting of the grinder also has two recessed clearance areas that the table fits into when sitting 90 degrees to the wheel & they don't seem to of been modified or milled after casting?
I'm sure there was some type of fixture or jig that originally went with this table set-up & the indicators/adjusters, But naturally that part is missing.
Does anyone have a idea of what type of jig or fixture would have been used with these indicators/adjusters, And how they would have worked?
