Old Bench Grinder

[sunspot]

This grinder is old but it runs like a champ. Does anyone know about what year it was built? I did not find anything on a web search.

Black and Decker #10
Ball Bearings
110-120 V
13 Amps (That works out as 2 HP)
7" Wheels

I feel sure the base is shop built. This whole unit must weigh over 300# because 2 grown men are unable to lift it in any way.

My wife wants me to repaint it. I don't mind that because green is not the original color.

Pictures to follow.

Try this site.
I'm sure they would love a picture of your grinder. Maybe someone there can help you.

Thanks Steve. Whoda thunk of a wood workers forum, well you did. Most of what I saw were the #8 grinders. They must of been popular. I'll put my pics over there and see what happens.
