Clarkson grinder help and info plz

[Piero]

Hi guys

So I have a new addition to my ever expanding workshop

A clarkson mk1 tool and cutter grinder.
See attached photos.

Two things id like help with.
No1. Identifying the collets as used with the indexing attachment that come with it.

Also were would I find a drive belt for this grinder.

Is it a flat belt? I just bought one of those poly-vee belts from the auto factors and ground the vees off it.

If it's a flat belt, Tony at lathes.co.uk can make them to whatever size you need, he did one for my surface grinder and was an excellent job. He would also have a manual for the grinder if you wanted one.

Very interested to hear what collets I have

From the pic the collet looks like a C type collet, compare the dimensions hear:

Noop sorry. I know next to nothing about mine

 

[Pete.]

I have one, though sadly I don't have the indexing thing.

 

[Piero]

looking for any help and info on the spin index that came with the Clarkson grinder.

I would ideally like to identify the make and model of the index,er.

I have had some suggestion that the collets are C2 , but I am not to sure .

the collet length is 1 3/4 and 1/2 dia at the threaded end

Here's the collet

A few photos of the main colum as it came of the back of my truck.

A couple of hours with some cleaning solution and ha presto.
