Btw...anyone every hear of Sioux brand grinders? In that load of
Stuff I brought home a couple weeks ago..was this really really ugly
6" grinder. Had a gooseneck lamp on the back, and both shields..and
both the tables were there. Found it to have a bad switch and didnt
like the look of the wheels, so changed em out.

One of the quietest smoothest bench grinders Ive ever had..including
the Baldors..and it take at least 3 minutes for it to wind down once
you turn it off. Which is marvelous for a little 6" grinder

Never heard of the brand before. It is US made. Chicago IRRC from the
data plate

Gunner,
I have a permanently bent right middle finger courtesy of a valve grinder
(smooth as silk) that was 'winding down'.
Don't space out that revolving rock - it can ruin your dasy/month/year/life.

Regards.
Ken.
