This vintage 1920's Walker-Turner bench grinder is begging to be restored or repainted. The original "Walker-Turner Co. Jersey City, Driver Line" decal is barely visible on the frame. The pedestal frame is 9 in. L X 4 1/2 in. W . This is the model "32A" cast into the vertical forks. The shaft is Babbitt bearing mounted with spring loaded oilers and is as tight as the day it was made. There is no slop or end-play at all in the shaft. The frame was originally painted enamel green which is barely visible today and begs to be repainted or powder-coated. The shaft now carries a 3 1/2 in. fine grinding wheel that is usable even today. The driven pulley is roughly 3 1/2 in in diameter or 2 in. in diameter for a faster rate of turning. The pullies are quite narrow which indicates that this tool was driven by a very narrow belt or round leather belt during its day. The four feet on the frame are counter sunk for flat-head screws and would look fantastic on a slab of walnut or cherry wood base. If you collect or restore vintage machine tools this is your project for 2018; and would look great in your collection. City: State: Date: HWAC# 56245
