Another Ebay blowout steal! This K O Lee 6062 Tool & Cutter Grinder was being de-acquisitioned by a die casting company in northern Illinois, and I was the only bidder. The grinder was one thing, but the tooling-oh the tooling that came with it! Workheads, arbors, chucks, you name it. Basically, the grinder was thrown in for free. With the help of a couple of owwmers (Big thanks to you, you know who you are), the power of Ruckering got the grinder from Illinois to upstate New York where I met it. After getting it safely home I pulled it apart and gave it a good cleaning, which was what it mostly needed. It's now back together and ready for work. The 6062 is the largest model that K O Lee made, and this one has the modern ball track ways under the table which glide effortlessly. It has many special features such as a tilting wheel head, and controls so that it could be operated from the front or the back.
