Harig 618W Surface Grinder

[MDR-Maker]

Can someone tell me what the 'W' stands for in the identifier of this surface grinder?

Thanks.

A bit of a long shot, but is it equipped with a wet coolant system? I have a power hacksaw (not a Harig) that uses that "W" suffix to denote the coolant equipped option.

Thanks Frank.

That's my guess too.

I don't have, and can't find, a manual for this machine so I was thinking along the same lines as you.

Dan is correct, there is a beautiful manual for the 612 and 618 at the vintage machinery site. Best parts drawings I've seen in a long time.
