Hello all
I got an old Capco Surface grinder a while back and it had been converted into an improvised vertical mill!
I wanted to restore it as a surface grinder but am missing the spindle and head bearings.
Finding out information seems almost impossible!
Apparantly it might be similar to other hand operated Eagle, Superior or Herbert surface grinders!
If anyone knows anything about the spindle area, as in Photo's, drawing or measurements I would be so grateful!
I understand that I may have to get a spindle made up but that is hard to start without some sort of reference as the motor drives the spindle from the center of the machine too!
Thanks for reading and feel free to comment or question.
