It was inventory from an old hardware store, if that helps...
What it is is about an 8" grinder, grinder pivots up and down, to a table with a slot in it. One inch wide grinder wheel rotates downward, toward the table, at front. Wheel is belt driven, from a motor, at back. Thought it might be a rotary mower blade grinder, but not real sure, as the direction of rotation appears wrong, for that app. Only an on/off switch, no direction change switch.
Anyway, from the tag, its a SIP grinding machine co (Sandusky Ohio)
Model 21-A
Serial # 70-679.
I learned that SIP stands for simplex ideal peerless. They make a lot of golf course grinders, am beginning to think it may be part of maybe a bigger unit, not real sure. Anyway, anybody got any experience, or knowledge to share? Is there an old metal working site, that catalogs stuff like this? I'm on my way over to OWWM.com, to see if they have anything on it...
