Looks just like this:

looks like major parts are there)

This clamps on a spindle of a surface grinder, uses a little
transmission belt and runs at 14,000 RPM, when the main spindle goes
at 3K RPM. It is, otherwise, proportional to the spindle speed.
The clamp has a cast iron insert that has a ID of 3 1/8" or so
inches. This insert is broken, but I could make another one that would
fit my 3 3/8" quill on the bridgeport interact mill.
In the spindle, they insert little collet holders, of which I have at
least one, for 1/4" shank tools. There is a little pile of 1/4" shank
grinding stones, which I do not care for too much.
What dawned in my mind, is that perhaps this would make a great high
speed spindle for a mill?
Could I use 1/4" shank end mills with this? Or is it somehow for
grinding only?
Anyone has a manual for this attachment?
