That looks really sweet. Never had anything like that in my day. We just used an attachment on a regular grinder with good stones.

Whats the brand name? I would like to see more about it & maybe get lucky with a youtube video.

I'm going to be looking for a few tools for my new shop this year, small lathe in the 14 x 36 size & a small, Bridgeport. Seems I always have some machining projects to do.

In my era, we had a Pratt & Whitney tape-o-matic drill press & a Suga pegboard chucker (pre-dates CNC :-). No digital feeds on anything. Back then a machinist did all of his own set-ups, made jigs & fixtures as needed & could run every tool in the shop. Will be fun to see how rusty my skill set is after all these years.
