This is a 6" Walker-Turner grinder which has been converted to a wire brush and Cratex polishing/grinding wheel. It is much handier this way for cleaning old arn and deburring as it was kind of a wimpy grinder and was missing parts of the guards and rests anyway. I got it about 25 years ago in poor condition and with an open auxillary winding. I rewound it (not recommended unless you have lots of wire and patience:^), replaced the bearings, and painted it. The toggle switch is probably original, but I added the rubber dust boot.
