Somewhat rare early version of the Craftsman/Delco 1/4 hp 6”x1/2” wheel grinder.
Small basic eye shields, two prong non-polarized power cord plug, no off/on toggle switch and spark guards.
Note the tag lists household use only.
Later version of the same 397.19570 model has and off/on toggle switch.
Missing the base rubber isolators.
Original grinding wheels with very little wear.
Tool rest washers assembled on the eye shields.
Installed tool rest washers are actually spacer washers included with the grinder for use with narrow wire wheels.
