Body, guards, tool rests are all cast iron.

>>HISTORY<<
05/28/2010: Traded a scroll saw for this grinder; from a fellow OWWMer. No previous history available.

05/30/2010:
Overall, the grinder is in very good condition. No further refinishing will be performed.
Grinding wheels missing blotters at flanges. Fabricated a set of blotters with a gasket fly cutter in the drill press.
Test run at 3800 with two 6" grinding wheels. This is one of the smoothest Oilite bronze bearing grinders I've ever used.
