I accidentally inherited a Hybco 1900 tool and cutter grinder with model 2100 relief attachment from my FIL this weekend. I was asking him about helping me grind the thread chasers for my Geometric head and he offered me this grinder! This machine was retired from the toolroom at one of his former employers. He helped mothball it 20+ years ago. Later he worked at the same place under different ownership about the time they decided to clean out the storage facility. The maintenance guy was handing out scrap passes and my FIL wanted the surface grinder he helped put away. The maintenance guy said he had to take the Hybco also. It's been sitting in his shop for 8 years and he was thinking about scrapping it out because he didn't need two grinders. I had to condense my woodworking equipment to make room for this beast. Other than surface rust, every thing works smooth. I think I will have a few (lots of) questions since I wasn't really planning on getting into grinding yet.
