I recently came across a Brown and Sharpe #2L surface grinder that is for sale. I have several questions regarding the machine. One problem I already know I have with it is that its magnetic chuck was taken apart.
What is the difference in the #2L vs. the other B&S #2 surface grinders?
What age might this machine be?
Anything I need to look for prior to purchasing such a machine.
What would be the value of the machine? They are asking $300
Would this be a good machine for a hobbyist shop, I have a South bend 13in lathe and a Bridgeport J head Mill already. I would like to have a decently equipped shop some day and I am slowly trying to add to it. .
Could I repair the chuck and if so how much might it cost or would I need to repair the machine
Does anyone have a copy of the Manual for the machine I saw the manual on the internet but was quite high?
I appreciate all the help and input I can get.
