Uses for Vintage B & D Valve Grinder

[usamech]

All,

Have a really old Black and Decker valve refacer. Can’t even find pictures close to this one. Both motors hum real nice. Certainly needs a clean up, maybe some rewiring and tooled up. This is a solid tool and weighs a ton. I won’t ever be grinding any valves.

Think I’m ready to get rid of it, but before I do. I’m wondering what other grinding functions I could use it for? Could this be used for sharpening drill bits? What else?
Thanks!
Gordon

I'd say no to any other uses, it does what it is made to do best, grinding valves
