Have found a grinder of all grinders. It's not a bench grinder but would do everything I would expect out of it..will need some new ppe to.

I bet there's a good chance that Bloke has sat on that grinder man and boy since the last old bloke entrusted it to him.

Handy for touching up those small lathe tools

It probably takes 2 days to stop after you turn it off

Just the job for putting a point on your tungstens!

There were a lot of blokes killed back in those days when grinding wheels exploded - you can see why! Even his seat is chained down...

Good find!

You have not seen the size of the torch that tungsten he is sharpening goes into!


Edit: Posted at same time as Paul.

I seem to remember it being featured on "worst jobs in history" or something similar -
if it didn't explode you were likely going to die of silicosis or some other some lung related disease anyway

The consequences of something going wrong there really don't bear thinking about

 

[Seadog]

You wouldn't want to nod off while waiting for the next job, would you?

 

[Bobtail4x4]

I bet he sharpened his penknife whlst waiting

 

[Shox Dr]

That's awesome. What hell was it used for

 

[CompoSimmonite]

Single phase motor ?

If it broke loose it would probably reach here before it stopped
