I got a new machine today. It was sitting gathering duzt in the back of a workshop in Perth. It is a Hebco Tool Grinder, made in Victoria Australia unsure off when but it still has a flat belt in it. It spent its working life at Carlilse trade school here in Perth. It is 3 phase so a new motor will be needed. After the photo shoot I decided to pull one of the diamond wheels off it and it spiraled from there.
I have started cleaning it, the grime is really baked on. I don't think I will worry about putting the suds back on it no machines have them these days. Everything moves as it should. The tapered bushes have no wear in them. I will not be painting it as I prefer things to have there working clothes on, it tells a story. Should finish cleaning most of it tomorrow and find somewhere to put it. The front bar and holder will take a bit longer.
