So, I get a pm from this nice member in Oakville to check out a Kijiji add for a tool cutter/grinder in Brantford. I make the connection and this nice lady phones me back - it is still available, you can see it tomorrow. Off I go.....several driving hours later and a couple hours looking I was heading home with a truck load of extras and thanking (I think LOL) Craig in Oakville for the heads up.

I have exceeded my shop capacity - HAHAHA but it should be all good. I have now a Cincinnati #2 tool and cutter grinder. I pick up the very very heavy main parts next week. The seller is coordinating a fork truck.

Sorry that last pic of the extra stuff flipped upside down.
@YYCHobbyMachinist : price $500

@Marc Moreau : she has a 12” Utilathe for sale - asking $3000.

Needs a good clean but is tight.
The cutter grinder has an NMTB 50 collet that I have adaptors for a couple Morse taper (6 and 4) and an couple mandrills and an NMTB 50 to OZ 32 collet adaptor. Lots of grinding wheels and some jigs. It came with a separate motor driven spindle so you can drive mills or shafts for rotary surfacing. I think it will take a small 4 jaw - more exploration required. There also was a 5c collet end mill sharpening jig (like one for a mag table/surface grinder.

the machine is a beast but will handle all my saw blades, end mills and planer knives. Will be some fun times ahead for sure. I will add some additional pics etc after pic up next week.

thanks Craig! You have a nice home and lots of project!! It was great to finally meet face to face and at least a small fist bump!
 
A tool grinder....... I have a whole box of end mills that need some TLC. Will post them to you Monday.

Seriously $500??

@Dabbler do you have a Cinci #2? If so I could use a few tips with setting things up and if there are some specific “gotta haves”

Reading up on this machine and what it can do - holy smokes! I know I will be replacing a belt and a motor overhaul. It is 220 three phase 3/4 hp so another VFD will be required. The second grinder motor is 120 single phase so no issue there.

I will need to name a couple jigs. The Morse taper on the NMTB 50 collet adaptors should allow me to get a MT 3 to ER 32 adaptor and them I can do most all my end mills. Will search out a couple OZ32 collets for 1”, 3/4” and should cover my bigger stuff.

@YYCHobbyMachinist - yep $500. Priced to sell. I guess they are retiring from 40 years of running a sharpening business and they put their building up for sale and it went in 2 days so they have to get out. They have a really nice end mill sharpener with radius attachment - air bearing etc but it is $1500. I thought getting a machine that will do everything was a bit better and the price was right for me.

looks like many hours of play time coming soon!
 
When Brent got to my place, he "just" had the grinding wheels, tapers, wheel dressing fixtures, etc, in his truck. New retail on that stuff would be multiple times what he paid for the whole kit and caboodle!

I believe @TOBARApprentice also has a tool and cutter grinder but I can't remember the manufacturer.

Great to meet you in person, @Brent H . Glad to see you get a deal! Hope the rest of the move goes smoothly.

Hi Brent and Craig.... and all. Brent, if you are in our area and you find yourself in need you could borrow my air bearing and radius fixture..... Happy to help out a buddy. My system is a Toycen, made in Ottawa. I scored it on Kijiji for “a song”. I love it when guys get great deals from folks who have clearly gotten their money out of a tool. Perhaps we can all get together some time for a coffee or beer after thins Covit mess is over. Good luck sharpening EVERYTHING!

Congrats and cheers.

Derek.

@Brent H I wish I had found what you got!. I paid double what you did, and got a less capable unit. It is called a Keller. and was primarily used to sharpen ball end mills.

Apparently it was made by Pratt and Whitney and is their designation is an 'R6'.

This isn't mine, but the picture he used to sell it to me. It is buried behind a wall of stuff right now,
 
Well, not all a bed of roses. Found a major crack in the index tool swivel mount. Ordinarily I would loose it - but I can fix it - looks like an attempted brass repair that failed. Found it after I got the grinding crud off the assembly. Should be no issue to fix.

Here is some pics of interest in case folks wonder about the size of things. First one is a pic of an ER 32 collet beside an OZ25 with the biggest being the OZ 32 that fits the indexer.

Next is my mills nmtb30 to #2 Morse beside the ISO 50 to MT 5

Just a bit of a difference- LOL
 
@trlvn got about 5 loaded from that site. One manual is exactly my new machine and the others have info that works for them all pretty much. Not many changes over past 80 years.

@RobinHood the butcher block too is the top of a 6 foot long tool bench from Canadian tire. It is the end of my out feed from the table saw. So - LOL - did not make it but I could - Lee Valley used to sell block tops at a decent price. I know there are a few other lumber places selling cheaper block tops if you need one.
 
Check Kijiji for bowling alley. Often you can find sections of butcher block up to 8 feet long. Cheers.

Timber Town had some gym flooring last summer that would have been perfect: 6' X 8' X 2" sections laminated together for 40$...

Nice but one is good ,the men who sold mine say this is a jewell . Hey boy don't miss this .
 
Well Ontario has all great deals - at $500 they could have placed it and all the tooling on auction and easily clear $1500 even in ON. Even with some rather steep auction fees they would be at least $500 extra. I got mine for over $600 without any tooling (well an angle vise) and here in AB that is a steal. One that has as much tooling as yours would be $2500. Few months ago a #2 I wanted with just the motorized head went for over $1500 at auction. So with all the extras easily $2500.
