Image Description:
THE SPRINGFIELD EMERY WHEEL COMPANY'S DYNAMO BRUSH GRINDER — We illustrate herewith a very useful new tool brought out by the Springfield Emery Wheel Company, of Bridgeport, Conn. It is a dynamo brush grinder, with universal slide rest, the clamp being readily adjustable to accommodate any size of brush. The work is moved forward to the emery wheel by a screw with milled head in the back of the rest, and the brush is passed over the face of the emery wheel by means of the hand lever at the right of the rest. Any angle or bevel can be obtained with ease. A customer of the company finds that he can do on this machine in an hour and a half work that formerly occupied all day, and yet the work is now much more accurately done. The machine here shown weighs 800 pounds and stands 27 inches high from the floor to the centre of the spindle. It occupies a floor space, 20 x 24”. The entire length of the spindle is 82 inches. Any size of emery wheel can be used up to 16 inches in diameter.
