Boyar-Shultz 612 Surface Grinder - Vinny - 11-11-2015
Just got this today. Cost me $10. Actually it was free but I told him I'd renew his domain for him at no cost.
Surprisingly I was able to find the manual online last nite. It leaves alot to be desired.
It's a Boyar-Shultz No. 612 and I have no idea how old it is. It's complete except it needs a wheel and someone cut the cord off. It's manual, so I'll have to crank until I come up with a power feed for it. It was optional on this and is hydraulic. There's also no coolant setup, so I'll hafta come up with something there too.
It also needs a wheel (7 x 1/2 x 1-1/4). Any suggestions that won't break the bank on a wheel?
I'm planning on running it on a static phase converter rather than going with a VFD. I'm using a static converter on my bench grinder and it's working ok and the manufacturer has them on sale on ebay right now for $46 with free shipping.
Can someone look at the motor plate pic and tell me if it's Delta or Wye?
Pics are before I degreased it.

Let me be the first to say
Wheels for that are plentiful and not expensive at all.

You paid $10 for the grinder and are worried about the cost of a wheel?
RE: Boyar-Shultz 612 Surface Grinder - Pete O - 11-12-2015
Ten bucks for the grinder, hafta shell out for a phase converter, wheels, power cord- you'll be pushing eighty bucks by the time you get that thing running.

I won't say its a better deal, but I met a guy that lives a couple miles from me that has a surface grinder that I was told I can use when I need one.
Vinny Nice Score that diffenately deserves a big
