need Surface Grinder help
Hi.
I have an old "Abrasive Machinery Company" model 3B at work. It's big old monster and does OK, but the X feed is pretty fast and it has a plunger on the gear box below the manual X feed wheel that is stuck. Can anyone identify it as a speed selector before i go taking apart a machine that I cant find parts or a reasonably priced manual for? http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...acegrinder.jpg http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/d...ercontrols.jpg -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty |

Thank you sir. i guess i will be pulling it apart today. the plunger is so stuck I was worried about bending it or busting it off. I am a small, low budget shop and in eastern California. Do you have the manual for the M3? I might need some info out of it in a day or so. -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty |

Is the "M3" machine also made by Abrasive?
I fixed the bent shift plunger rod today and will re-install it tomorrow. It must have been bent when or before the machine got here 6 years ago. It says on the machine to fill the 200Lbs+ gear box with "machine oil",l I guess i will use what i have for the lathe. -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty |

never did find a source for a manual
for mine. I had found one a year ago for about $200. They probably still have it. |
