Not to highjack your thread but there is a very early model on Ebay if anyone is interested. He is asking quite a bit, its missing the column sheetmetal covers and there's no description. The covers are easy enough to make. It has a mag chuck which is really hard to find and the wheel guard is intact. The fact that there's no description is a red flag to me but if someone can go look at it it might be worth it if it was maintained. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sanford-be...rentrq:fa93fb0c1740aa4852fb3c7dffe738b8|iid:2
He is taking offers...just because he is asking $1500 doesn’t mean you have to offer him that much.

This will be interesting to see if it sells at that price then. I would be shocked. I got mine for $500 - I never would have considered it if it were north of $1000.Agreed but I have been watching the bench model Sanford's on Ebay for a long time now and when they do pop-up they sometimes go for $1500 to $2K on Ebay. I could see this guy holding on his price because of the vise and wheel guard if he knows what he's got. Parts for these are ridiculous, more expensive than Atlas shaper parts. The wheel guard is never seen sold by itself. I wish I could find one instead of making mine.

Well if you want or need a surface grinder and have restrictions on power as well as space and will have a hard time getting it in your shop it starts to make a whole lot of sense. Consider the cost to have a larger machine shipped plus the cost of a rigger to get it where you need it plus the cost of running the electric, it makes a whole lof of sense.
