Been looking for a tool grinder for a little while, ran across this one on a sale site. Worked out a deal and just brought it home. This machine used to sharpen cutters at the Beverly Shear Co. Came with a nice selection of goodies stashed in the bottom. 7 wheel arbors, a stack of assorted wheels, bunch of finger rests and micrometer stops, motor drive for the workhead, assortment of indexing plates and collets, etc. I figure it will be good for the one-sie two-sie cutters I need to sharpen, no plans for production or high volume sharpening. More interested in being self-sufficient as far as sharpening goes. Spindle and workhead bearings seem to be in good shape, feel snug and smooth.
The new owner of the Beverly Shear building had more machines as well if anyone is interested. A couple old shapers, a Milwaukee #3 vertical, and some other little bitty horizontal that had a vertical head and a shaping head if'n I remember correctly. He is just looking to get them out of there. He's on the south side of Chicago.
