Sterling Drill Grinder 1/2HP 5.5A 115V 3450RPM
Made by McDonough Mfg. Co. Tool Division around 1952

They seem to have used and repurposed a Baldor 500 carbide Tool grinder. The motor seems to be the same except a .5 Amp bump (5.5A for this machine compared to the normal 5.0A) and the wheel guards seem to come modified specifically for Sterling.

Sharpens and reshapes drill bits from 3/8” to 2-1/2” capacity
