Astra/elite as5-e grinder

[ronan walshParticipant @ronanwalsh98054]

I have just bought but not collected an astra/elite as5-e tool and cutter grinder. I was looking for a small surface grinder but small ones are hard to come by. From what i have read the astra is just as good at surface grinding as it is at t&c grinding. Has anyone on here got one of these grinders ? Can you tell me anything about them ?

The wife has an Astra Elite, but it has 5 doors, some wheels, an engine and lots of other nice bits of useful kit.

Sorry about all the above, It was just too good an opportunity to miss!

Can't help with the cutter grinder though.

Different astra, it was the spanish astra company which made small arms usually. A bit like bsa in the uk , if it was made in metal , they made it.

Almost looks as if the manufacturer didn't think much of it
