Hi All,

I recently bought a small bench top Sanford Surface Grinder, model SG 48. I believe this is the smallest model they made at the time. It came without a motor or bracket for mounting the motor. Would any of you have a sense of how the motor should mount and what the RPM of the motor should be. From the literature I downloaded it seems the motor mounted somehow on the back of the machine, but there are no photos that I could find. Does the motor move vertically with turning of the hand wheel? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Al

Yes, the motor moves with the vertical feed handwheel. There
are slots to allow adjustment so the belt tension is correct.

I've just photograped mine (which needs more cleaning after a
fire last year -- at least back on the motor side).

Here are two views from the back:

http://www.d-and-d.com/misc/MANUALS/Sanford/MOTOR-MOUNT/index.html

Look like it will be a fun job to fabricate without a casting,
especially the curve which hugs the motor OD.

3450 RPM, 1/6 HP single phase 110 VAC.

From what I have been told, you get a smoother grind finish with
a three phase motor, powered by true three phase (e.g. from a VFD).

While you are about it, back up one level in the URL:

http://www.d-and-d.com/misc/MANUALS/Sanford/index.html

and you can download a scan of what may be the last manual sent out by
they before they closed. (Along with some flyers.) Note that it is
quite slow to view, so best if you download the full PDF file and view
it locally.

PDF page 11 (no printed page number) has photos of many of the
parts, with 19 at the top being the motor bracket.

There is also a section on how I re-wired the power supply in
the base for the electric magnetic clutch.

Good Luck,
DoN.

Not a good photo but gives an indication of how the motor mounts.

I was once told by a “gun safety” advocate back in the Nineties
that he favored total civilian firearms confiscation.
Only the military and police should have weapons he averred and what did I think about that?

I began to give him a reasoned answer and he
cut me off with an abrupt, “Give me the short answer.”

I thought for a moment and said, “If you try to take our firearms we will kill you.”"

Al would you be interested in selling the grinder?

What are the doos that he is still reading this newsgroup? Note
that his posting was close to a year ago, and he may have found his
answer and left.

It would appear that you are reading this in googlegroups, not
in the original usenet where the article was actually posted back when.
Googlegroups keeps articles around a lot longer than most news severs
do, so we get the occasional response to an ancient article -- sometimes
closer to 10 years old or so. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
