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

Sioux has been the name brand in valve grinding equipment since forever.
