Dumore Tool Post Grinder - LJP - 09-15-2013
I found this Dumore No.4 "Tom Thumb" tool post grinder at the flea market this morning. It runs great! This grinder is so small I think it would fit just about any lathe! It is 2 speeds, takes 1/8" to 2" dia grinding wheels. I would think it would be easy enough to find a collet to fit it.
He was asking $40, I offered $20. He came back with $30. I said throw in the larger Jacobs chuck, he said take both chucks and the grinder for $30. Good deal!

John,
Please do. That would make a great project thread. I wouldn't mind building one myself.

John,
There is a very nice set of toolpost grinder plans by C.W.Woodson in the August/September 1943 issues of Popular Science. If you are interested, I found the September issue on Google Books and I have the August issue at home.
