Unsure if this is a lathe or grinder topic... guessing lathe.
I've decided to un-bell-mouth the 3-jaw on my 10k which has caused me to dig out and start to de-crap I believe the last thing that came with the lathe, the tool-post grinder. Since the original owner purchased every single option SB made at the time, I assumed it would itself be SB but no joy. Once the years had been cleaned off the thing, I have this. Anyone recognize it? I haven't determined runout yet due to project overload but in looking at it closely I'm not setting my expectations very high. If it's known junk, I'll just put it back in the box and either get one of the cheapie direct drive units off eBay or one of the Dumore's. Either way, I need more in that it doesn't have the reach to get into the jaws. No plans to make tool post grinding a common thing. Just want my chuck back. Thanks for any input on this thing.
