Hello Arm,
Yes, this is a Burr King, model 562 1"x42" belt grinder.? ?I was fortunate enough to buy this from a friend for these things are not common where I live.? This is a really nice tool.? I don't make knifes.? I'm just developing a hobby so I can have something interesting to do when I retire.? ?I'm basically building up my shop.? ?I'm not into buying the latest and greatest shop equipment, but I'm getting equipment that has good bones but could use a little attention.? ?I have been doing some case hardening of CR1018 steels to make punches and dies for my little Whitney press.? I use an electrical dental burn out oven (about a 6" cube capacity) for this.? ?I haven't gotten into the larger kilns nor using a torch to heat my parts before quenching.
