<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 369389, member: 54"]Another item from same estate as my recent post. This is an 8” Mummert-Dixon oilstone grinder for sharpening wood chisels, plane blades, etc. It is about 4’ tall and weighs over 200 lbs. It seems to be “Plurality Sub-Jr. 425” model. It runs quietly and smoothly. The 8” stones only revolve at 300 rpm (very slow for any grinder) and a small tank of kerosene On top behind the two T-screws provides the required oil drip. Mine is missing a conical grindstone, 2” x 4”, but I think I can buy a replacement. The cone spins at full motor rpm, I think 1750 or so. I learned a lot about MD grinders from this page: <a href="http://vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=1147&tab=4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=1147&tab=4" rel="nofollow">http://vintagemachinery.org/mfgindex/detail.aspx?id=1147&tab=4</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]126765[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]126764[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]126763[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]126761[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]126762[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
