And what is it commonly used for? I picked it up at an estate sale for cheap, and it runs. What does it do, that an ordinary grinder wouldn't be used for? Attached File Attached File |

Isn't it a old school machinest edge grinder for finish angles & tool edges? eta: years ago when I worked at state park, had a simular looking tool on the bench we used to sharpen axes, shovels & whatnot when someone else had the benchgrinder tied up. |

That makes sense. The estate sale was at a machine shop. |

Taking another look at this, it has a large bit on the other side. I wonder if this straddled another machine somehow? Attached File |
