I bid on it for no good reason other than liking the Thern 1/2 HP winch.

It turned out to be bigger than I expected.

But what it turns out to be is an aluminum degasser.

That is one hell of an inaccurate description. Did it have a blower or
something on it which might reasonably have looked like a grinder? Glad
you were only wanting the winch. I'd certainly be interested to see some
pictures.

Best wishes,
