    Description

    Up for sale is a scarce vintage Craftsman 6" block style bench grinder made in the USA.  This machine runs great.  It comes up to speed quickly, runs smoothly and coasts for a longtime after shutting off.  (no wobble, no abnormal vibration).  This grinder is more complete then most.  This includes the eye shields, spark arrestors, tool rests, guards, side shields, gooseneck worklamp with bakelite cover and rubber feet.  The only part missing is the little water quench tray which is easy to find.
    Optical clarity of the eye shields is excellent (see images).  It comes with a grinding stone and wire wheel but my recommendation would be to replace them with new. I did notice that the previous owner cut off the grounding prong on the power plug.  For safety, I'd recommend that the plug be replaced.
    This machine is rated at 4.7 amps which is very powerful compared to 6" Chinese grinders.  Compare amps not HP!!
    Please review all images in high resolution mode. These classic grinders are tough to find this complete and in this good of condition.
