OK- so running the roads as I am apt to do for my job I stumbled on a Surface Grinder at a storage warehouse... Long story short (only cost me a coffee and a honeybun...) the owner remembers his dad using it, but doesn't know much more about it other than it is a 3 phase machine. Been on a pallet >18 years. Hasn't been used in >20 years... I am needing a SG as the knife hobby is growing, and like the 24 inch aspect so I can do longer blades... just looking for considerations and a hopeful ID so I can look into parts/stuff for the thing if I drag it home.
He says its a 10x24- but Murphy was along for the ride and so no tape measure.
It has an ancient South Bend mag chuck on it rusted and pitted with a small footprint... not useable without a visit to the land of misfit toys where the angry pixies can run her thru a rehab (maybe a bench top use for a sanding jig for my knife hand working???)
He is asking 1200...
Closest I can find in the IMAGE function on google is a Gallmeyer and Livingston. But no info anywhere ON the machine- the little screenprinted plaques were all scratched out or silver from abrasions... and I don't know where the Serial Nos are on "vintage" stuff
