Wasn’t sure where to put this post but decided here if wrong please move, this tool cutter & grinder came from a watchmakers workshop, I have been looking for one for some time but most are way to big for me , I don’t need a large one because most of my grinding is on 3mm square HSS just occasionally 6mm 1/4” and I don’t have much room anyway , upon receiving it I fully stripped, cleaned and rebuilt finding the sewing machine motor knackered and the spindle bearings I replaced the bearings and am fairly sure the motor isn’t original as there is a telltale where it’s not painted on back of upright I needed to find a replacement motor but most were to big and the place where the sewing machine motor was had only 2 screws, as did the bit on back of upright where I think an original motor was mounted any way I found and ordered a motor from Amazon rated 7000RPM @24 volts not sure it was going to be man enough I mounted it with the bracket that came with it after modifying it as I didn't want to mess about making one just in case motor not good enough but it is well man enough, it ground a graver no bother at all, made a box for it to sit on with power supply & switch in, just got to make a proper bracket now, I am fairly sure the bit where the paint is missing was where a motor was originally, I can't think of any thing else that could have been there, the pulley's are only temporary as well.
It was most definitely shop made because I found lots of scribe lines when I took it apart.
