With the discussion about CNCing the Sanford surface grinder, it
reminded me that I have a manual Boyar Schultz 6 x 12 manual surface
grinder that needs to be automated SOMEDAY.
Has anyone automated a manual surface grinder and if so, how did you
do it?
I would love to hear any suggestions or hints that you might have to
offer.
Thanks in advance,

I once made a jury rig grinder based on an old ML7 lathe bed.
Couldn't find a suitable rack for the table drive so used a drive dog
attached to bicycle chain stretched tight between two sprockets. A
microswitch at each end of the travel drove a latching relay which
auto reversed the geared down motor drive to one sprocket.
