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.

Azotic, you almost get the prize, your answer was the closest. There
is a hard to find table lock under the table, which was partially
engaged. The machine is fine.

And before we jumped on you and forced you into checking.. you were
going to scrap it.

Sure you are right for the business?

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
