You may have spotted my ad looking for a small cylindrical grinder, specifically a Jones and Shipman 520.

i got the following email from a “Mike Wilson” mw455808@gmail.com

“Are you interested in Jones and Shipman 520 grinder., that you requested for ? If so let me know asap”

I try not to be sceptical but in this case I smell a rat! I briefly replied yes and shortly after got a response including a picture of the grinder for sale. I recognised the specific picture from the Lathes.co.uk web site.

A web search on the email address shows that this person has tried similar tactics on the Norton Forum, so I am afraid it is an attempt at a scam.

If posting a wanted ad, be careful.

Meanwhile the search for a small grinder continues…..
