Woke up earlier this morning than I intended to, but not bad for how my gut has been feeling the last few days. Looked at the tool post grinder I've been watching on ebay for a few days, and saw the price had dropped from $224 to $201, with $15 shipping, and 48 minutes to go... In a moment of madness, I bought it. It's a Themac, with no labels or plates, so no idea which model. Cheapest one new is around a couple of grand, and it supposedly runs, but needs a new cord. Be interesting to figure out which model it is. Downloaded the drawings and such from the manufacturer website, has dimensions that should help me narrow it down. Hopefully it won't be too big to use on my 10" lathes. Also wonder if I could improvise a mount to use it for surface grinding small parts like 1-2-3 blocks and the like... Haven't even got it yet and trying to figure out how to stretch the capabilities. ;)
Just a note, the seller has quite a bit of stuff for Atlas Craftsman lathes and other interesting stuff...? Also bought a Morse 1-1/2" die holder and a more or less matching tap holder fro the same seller. Prices are not excruciatinglly high..?? I'll let y'all know how well packed and how quickly shipped and such once I know more, but a lot of their stuff seems to be about 10% off right now.?
