Title: bench hand grinder but what for?
Post by: skipskip on April 10, 2017, 07:34:02 PM

Kind of a complicated grinder, turns left and right and up and down.

the holders are odd oval shapes

designed to clamp over 2 inch wood.

help!

Hello, Skip. The part that looks like the vise , or clamping mechanism, leads me to think saws, or planer , or moulding knives. Just a guess. Regards, Lou

Interesting, so it may be for more than one kind of sharpening.

wish I could read the patent dates on the top

the clamping looks about right to hold a mower cutting bar to sharpen, and like the ad states, change the stone.

the mounting clamps are like the ad also shows, to clamp it to the mower wheel, used for field dressing the cutter bar.

yup, long days in the fields.

Here's a thread from 2011 that's quite interesting. I didn't know there so many different ones.
