Hi All,

Currently helping a pal out with his B&S surface grinder in exchange for being able to use it.

Have persuaded him to get the manual from lathes.co.uk which should be a great help.

Machine seems to work fairly well but some wwear apparent in the mechanism that regulates the y axis feed, does no always engage properly.

Also the main bed seems to bet quite stiff occasionally, I have had the bed off and thoroughjly cleaned and oiled all surfaces so this is a bit odd, any thoughts please?

The main oiling point at the front seems to empty very quickly and the inside cupboard gets very oily, could some of the oileways be blocked up causing friction?

Is the postion in which the main bed is relocated after removal critical? Have tried it starting on the rack and feeding in and also by placing down in mid position, no real difference?

Looks like being a fun project and good learning experience.

I am also unable to find a new diamond dresser for the wheels, the old one is ruined..

Cheers, Martin
