Bought this machine online for $35 from a local homeowner who was not the original purchaser. Almost identical to the 1974 model 397.19440 “Commercial” Craftsman that I bought a couple years ago. The commercial version has some other features that this one does not. Easy to work on and rebuild. Heavy duty, solid build quality. I disassembled, cleaned, and serviced. Repainted a couple of damaged parts. Looks like a new machine. Will use it in my shop exclusively with wire wheels. My ‘74 has grinder wheels.
