A while back I was lucky enough to pick up a Waldown grinder (which has been on my ' if I see one at a good price.... will buy one' list for a long time). It is the same as Phils as shown in this link

But also picked up a Waldown centre hole lapper similar to this

Now I have never seen another one until this popped up on Ebay. They are used to improve/repair/renovate center holes in the ends of shafts prior to grinding. It was only $40 so I could not leave it there even though it is not something you would use every day unless you did a lot of precision cylindrical grinding. It is surprisingly heavy and very well made.
Before everyone goes "photos" they are currently mummified in shrink wrap in a shed awaiting the 'new sheds' construction so they can be liberated. But seeing the one on Ebay reminded me and as they are not that common thought I would share. One wonders what other little gems Waldown made. Does anyone have a catalogue of their complete range?
Cheers
