Title: Bench grinder help
Post by: swervncarz on September 20, 2015, 08:36:22 AM
Picked this up this weekend, anyone recognize it? Not sure what brand, nameplate is missing. Has a small plate over the switch that says equipped with SKF Ball Bearings. It has been repainted. Seems like a nice one, I was thinking Baldor when I picked it up but now thinking it's not.

the tag looks to have a arch to it, google "old bench grinder"  might show one with the same arch? most were  square or rectangular.

If you google Kingston-Conley you'll find that they badged these for a lot of Companies. Not sure about yours, don't recognize the outline of the tag.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction... Looks to me like a Walker Turner
