Hi.
Just bumped into this bench grinder/motor. I've never seen (noticed) the brand before here in Europe.
The previous owner has no idea where it came from, but I guess it started out as a pump and later modified to a bench grinder.
The motor itself weighs around 15 pounds and it takes a max. of 6" wheel.
The spindle has a right hand thread telling me that the label might be correct and the thing wasn't born as a grinder.
If someone is able to make a qualified guess as to how old it is, please let me know.
I haven't started taking it apart yet. If someone has a tips to share, please do. Guess the bearings will be imperial size, so I'm a bit exited to see if I can find them around here.
The business end is closed with a disc that looks like it's cast iron. Readable text says
"B&G 128-52" and the two signs visible on photo #3.
Thanks for any help.
Your's,
Lars
