I have an old Boyer Shultz 612 surface grinder, I've always used it
dry, but I'm intrigued by the possibility of running it wet if it
won't kill the spindle bearings.


Hey Old Jag. Does your Boyer Schultz have the dust collector in the
base? I need instructions on getting to the vacuum motor and also how
to get the filter out to clean it.

I got into the vacuum motor on a Boyar Schultz dust collector base a
few years ago. The motor is accessed from the front of the cabinet.
But firsr you must remove all the filter elements. The motor is in
the rear corner.
And a Boyar Schultz service man cautioned me NOT to wash the filter
bags, as that would remove the fire retardent chemicals in the
filters.
