It's been a few years since I've posted (I was spending way too much time reading PM so I had to cut myself off for a while) but I thought I would put this machine up to see if anyone was interested in taking her home.
This is an older #13 B&S tool and cutter grinder with workhead, tailstock and a retrofitted Excello 1HP 3500RPM 3PH spindle. This machine was originally driven via flat belts (one for feed and one for spindle) by a 1.5HP ring oiled motor in the base. Motor is still there and runs but the belts are wiring aren't around anymore. I realize that without more tooling this isn't a very useful machine especially given how much space it takes up (kind of a lot). I believe the workhead and tailstock have B&S tapers but I don't recall what #.
I bought this years back and only ever used it for some funny marble grinding projects. I ran the spindle from a VFD, plugged the workhead into the wall and fed it by hand. It is dirty and heavy (my 3K forklift could barely lift it) but nothing is broken.
If nobody wants the whole machine I'll keep the spindle for myself and part out anything of interest before scrapping it. I need the space for something else!
Machine is located in Brooklyn NY and I can load with a pallet jack onto a dock height truck (give or take an inch). Any questions feel free to ask.
