What's the going price for a KO Lee tool & cutter grinder with some
tooling?
Specifically it's a Model 960 from probably 1966. The head does not
tilt and the ways are V ways, not ball bearings. The known tooling is
an "air bearing" fixture to sharpen end mills. There probably is a
fixture to turn lathe centers. Not sure what else is there. It's
coming out of a shop that's closing. I have not seen it yet, but hope
to do that Friday. eBay is no help - dealers listing machines at
inflated prices that never sell. Second,what do you think the odds
are that there would be a small clientelle of hobbyists that want
things sharpened so that I could pay for this thing over time? We all
see old end mills, taps and other cutting tools at flea markets that
are dull but would work if resharpened. I'm not thinking of making a
lot of money, but maybe $2 to $5 a cutter on average.

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the
means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not
making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of
it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different
countries, that the more public provisions were made for the
poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became
poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the
more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin
Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766
