Found on local craigslist, this grinder arbor had been placed in a homemade pine table to make a table saw. Spacer added to one side to support a saw blade and a v-belt pulley fitted to other side. A 1928 magazine had been fitted under base of grinder as a shim between it and table.

Flat-belt driven with babbet bearings. Shafts feature tapered ends. Right hand thread on one end, left hand thread on other. Non-original inner backer flange fitted on one side. Two brackets on front, a single bracket (broken off) on back on one side. Shaft bearing surfaces in very good condition, babbet in good condition with thick shims present.

Casting number J70 under bracket on right/front.
