First of all, how often are surface grinders needed in the context of

Second, say, I wanted to resurface the face of an anvil. How long will
it take to do with something like a Boyar-Schultz 612 Deluxe surface
grinder (non-CNC)? Taking off, say, 50 thousandths from a face of an
anvil.

I have one and I am trying to decide if I need to keep it or sell.
Mine has an electromagnetic chuck.

thanks

We all have a pretty good idea of the kind of stuff you do. I don't
think you need a surface grinder. I only use mine for die making and
sharpening and for some high-precision parts that I have to hold .0005"
or so. Sell it!

Thanks Tom. I will think some more, but I am leaning in the direction
of your thought.

Ive got a Ramco copy of the B&S 618...and I think Ive used it a half
dozen times in the 10 yrs Ive owned it.
