Comments:

This is an early version of the Delta drill grinding attachment as evidenced by the keyed shafts used in the mounting and support brackets. Later versions used a splined shaft. This early version also does not have the instruction plate (DAG-149) on the right jaw as is included on the later version. This was found at my local used tool store on the "junk" table for $6. Its shown in "as found" condition and is complete except for the thumb screw and knurled lock knob on the stop gauge. Of course the wheel dressing assembly which is a separate assembly from the grinding jig but was apparently shipped as part of the jig is MIA. The jig is mostly very dirty with a little light rust so it should clean up nicely.
