Its still there its just the OPs message has had the link wrapped. I
wish it was in the UK I might have bid on it as I could use one occasionally but don't want the space taken by a larger surface grinder.

If it's rigid enough I would love to have that in place of my 6x12" machine which weighs like 1500 pounds. However, I already have my SG so I'm not likely to lift a finger .. - GWE |

The wear is depicted and *is* rather considerable...it is a 1957 model I am not stating that the seller did not disclose this info. I am stating that a SG with considerable wear on the ways will have limited usefulness because I don't think it will grind a very flat surface anymore. chuck |

It is similar to mine, but with differences. 1) The table was designed for coolant. 2) (As mentioned) there is a coolant fixture on the stone guard. 3) The mag chuck is a permanent magnet one. Mine is an electro-magnetic one, and the manual warns *not* to use coolant with the EM chuck. (And after examining the circuitry, I can see why. :-) There are the openings in the casting for the EM chuck power cable and the second toggle switch which goes: HOLD -- OFF -- AC DEMAG It looks pretty nice -- other than the bed wear, and that could be re-ground or scraped by a dedicated restorer. It is also almost closed, now.
