I haven't yet got around to ordering the recommended diamond wheel but I did get the white wheel he recommended for HSS and it does a much better job than the wheels made of driveway gravel that come with today's grinders.
Nice job on the Wolf, I've never seen a two speed OFF switch though, can you fill us in?

Yup , nice grinder, great to see these oldies saved. (Was wondering about that switch also, thought maybe it was 2 speed or?)

Hi John, the grinder turned out nice!
I got some stuff from someone that was all covered up with black powder. Took some time cleaning all kinds of other stuff before I turned my attention to the grinder that came with it all. That happened today and it turned out that under all the black was your grinders cousin. I googled its brand and found your thread.
It will take me some time before my grinder looks as good as yours, but it runs just fine. It has most of its parts though, so if you still want some more (detail)photo's I can take some for you. Let me know. Mine was also painted green (not original). I hope to find out what the original colour has been, because if I am going to paint it I would like to make it as original as possible. maybe i can find some original paint somewhere on it. Could you show a detail picture of the big label (not the one behind the switch)? Regrettably that one is missing on my grinder
