I have a Cincinnati #$2 tool and cutter grinder

The table seems to be stuck and is moving with difficulty. Since they
are worth (on eBay) a third over their scrap value anyway, I have no
interest in fixing it.


Seems to be "stuck"


Now thats an interesting admission/comment *from both a machinist and a
new machinery seller.


Why not simply knock out the gib..and find out what the **** is wrong
with it?


Blink blink...are you going to sell machinery..or be a scrapper?


Well maybe the rapid traverse and the fine feed are both engaged
which would make it seem that the table is hard to move or stuck.
That condition was possible on the #2 i once owned.

Just as a side note i believe the motor on a #2 is specialy
balanced, might make it valuable maybe not.

Tom.

Ig..many times grinder motors are "special"..as in balanced/special
spindles/shafts/etc.

It may very well be worth keeping.
