I finally got this home last week. Prior to purchase I had asked some advice and info on a couple of threads:
http://www.practicalmachinist.com/vb/abrasive-machining/advise-b-s-no-5-618-doall-1030-d6-340062/
and:
http://www.practicalmachinist.com/v...-sharpe-no-5-surface-grinder-way-type-340079/
I was taking a bit of a chance, as I didn't get to physically inspect it first. Also I have never run a surface grinder, so I'll be learning as I go. But machine and shipping cost came in at a reasonable cost, so I can't go too wrong. Not exactly sure the manufacture year, but I have a pic of the serial number, 523-5-544.
I purchased an Operation, maintenance, and repair parts manual. I don't want to get into a full tear down of this machine at the moment, though probably later. I do want to lift the tables and clean and lube ways, as well as change voltage to 220 3 phase. I'd also like to inspect for and repair any hydraulic leaks when I lift tables. I'd like to be able to use the machine in a reasonable amount of time, in maybe a month or so, as time allows.
