Surface grinder market is not what it used to be.

I was at a factory recently, and the owner was begging me to take a
Boyar-Shultz surface grinder for $100, but I had to decline as my
truck was full.

I don't have any interest in this grinder but when I saw
the price and photo I knew I had to post it.

This is a large Landis surface grinder with a 12" wheel and a 6" x 18"
magnetic chuck in good condition for only $250. Please call KARL at
895-3838 extension #48 between the hours of 6:00 am and 2:30 pm,
Monday thru Thursday.




I remember the days when no one had surface grinders. My dad shaved the
heads of maybe 60% of the V8-60 racecar engines west of the Mississippi. He
made a gig that screwed into the sparkplug holes and he could chuck up the
head. Racers sent him lots of heads. When Flycutters came out, that
business quickly died.
