Default Sanford Surface Grinder

I just bought a Sanford Surface Grinder via eBay, even though I've never
even seen one. I just decided I needed (OK, wanted) a surface grinder and
the ONLY place in the shop where one could possibly be located meant a
benchtop unit and that was that.

So, halftime of a boring Monday Night Footbal game, I was trolling eBay and
lo and behold, there it was, with a "Buy It Now" price I couldn't resist.

"If you want a surface grinder, buy it yourself !"


CLICK went the ENTER key, and now somewhere between Florida and Washington
State is 250 pounds of grinder.


Congratulations!

Next step was to scour the 'net looking for info on Sanford, with a
staggering lack of success.


And the company went incommunicado shortly after I got mine.
(But not before I got a manual from them -- perhaps the last.)

I went to DejaNews and looked up and read all the posts from this group, but
didn't find all that I was looking for.

SO, in the hope that there's someone out there with hitherto unpublished or
unannounced information, can anyone point me to online verions of

an owner's manual


Yep.

a part manual


Sort of a part of the owner's manual, but not complete.

a list of tips and "look out for"s


How about some advice on a modification to the power supply for
the magnetic chuck?

For the manual, and some flyers and quote sheets, check out:

You'll also find the rewiring information there.

*Please* -- don't ask your browser to download multiple things
at once. *You* may have a lot of bandwidth, but you will be limited by
my end, which has to work with a 56k Frame Relay connection, and other
things have to share that bandwidth, including my e-mail and news feed.
Asking for a second thing before the first is complete will mean that
you will be slowing down the download of the first thing, so you will
take about the same time as before, and possibly choking off my
bandwidth so nothing else can go through.

Enjoy,
DoN.
