Well, I wasn't sure where to post this, but since it's a war production machine this seemed like the best forum.
Periodically I've been looking for a decent sized OD grinder. Recently happened upon a potential candidate in the form of a war era 10x36 Norton.
Just curious what kind of 'can of worms' I may potentially be looking at? From what literature have seen it appears that Norton used plain bearings, whereas Cincinnati used some form of hydraulically compensated bearing. Any thoughts on how to evaluate such a machine without it being under power?
Thanks,
Aaron
