Can anyone ID this grinder?

dimanche 6 juillet 2014

Hi all,



At the beginning of my wood turning adventures (last year?), I was given a grinder by a (former?) forum member Robbo.



It came without a label and its now fitted with two CBN wheels from CWS. They are the 80 and 180 and I am EXCEEDINGLY happy with them (thanks Jim!).



My hassle is the thing seems to spin at 14.9 billion RPM.



I'm hoping to get a slower one. The CBNs don't seem to need speed and honestly they seem to work when either powering up or powering down.... about 1/4 of the machines revs. I don't have "fairy touch fingers" as I was taught to use when acquired. I'm trying, but I cant get the hang of it. Slower would be better until I graduate from Completely Incompetent.



So, anyone have any idea of what it is or what its specs might be?



ALSO, can anyone tell me where I can buy a genuine 5/8" shafted slow speed grinder? I'm turning up dead ends everywhere. (or a variable! now THAT would be awesome!)



On another matter, anyone have a phone number or email of Robbo? I want to get some lessons and I personally found him an excellent teacher.
