Comments:
I got this belt driven bench grinder at a used tool shop in Tucson for $22.00. This model first appears in Powr-Kraft catalogs in 1955, but the logo it has first appears in 1958. I'm not sure how long after that the logo was used. It is missing the two swing out tool rests. The catalog recommends a 1/4 HP motor @ 1725 rpm. (K4 4505)
