>>HISTORY<<
I received this grinder from a fellow OWWMer, for helping with a drill press acquisition.

>>MACHINE<<
Power-Bronze Sears Craftsman 7" capacitor-start, industrial rated grinder, built by Packard Electric.
Power-Bronze Sears Craftsman pedestal, built by Central Specialty.
Plug was missing the ground prong. Installed a new grounded plug.
The grinder runs very well, but needs bearing attention.
The original bearings are New Departure (USA) 97503. (6203 with shield and seal.)
Cast iron body, base, guards and tool rests on steel shafts.
