I picked up this old karstens id/od grinder and am in the process of cleaning it up and getting it running again.. Been sitting for quite some time by the looks of it. I would love to find a copy of the operator's manual, or someone answer a few questions on how this thing is supposed to operate.
It's a good sized machine, and believe it is a maximum of 24" between centers..
Where I'm running into questions is on the y axis feed. I'm kinda figuring it out, but the .00005" adjuster in the handwheel only seems to move about .00025" then stops. I though this should be something that could be turned continuously???
Also there appears to be something missing between the two handwheels that goes onto a keyed shaft. I'm guessing that this is for cycling the table back and forth??
I've got alot of cleaning and derusting to take care of, but it's cleaning up nicely...
