Vintage Baldor 8" bench grinder acquired from Craiglist. Previous owner was a mechanic who was not the original owner and had installed a metal cut off wheel and painted black over the original steel blue color. it's missing both wheel covers, spark shield, one tool rest.
Restoration was straight forward stripped old paint, fixed and insulated the wiring with brand new electrical cord and plug, polished and powder coated paint both the wheel cover and base and lastly lubricated for a smooth operation. Painted Flat black.

Somehow I got all excited that i forgot to take a picture of the original purchased condition.
