Clarkson MK2 Tool & Cutter Grinder

[Micktoon]

  Hi All, I got this new addition to the workshop tools the other week off E bay. Mark 2 Clarkson with a few bits and bobs, I was pleased as the photos were not too good on Ebay and also it just said some attachments other than the universal head which was shown in the photo. 
 This is the machine, not bad overall condition and the motor was star or delta so I rigged up an old inverter I had and it goes fine too. When I opened the cabinet there was the cardboard box with the bits inside.


This is what the box contained, not bad as all were not listed in the ad , so just goes to show there are some decent folk still out there as they packed this lot up nicely and included it in the sale. I got it for £200 + it was £57 for a courier to pick it up from the other end of the country, which I thought was a good deal.


The universal head looks to be modified ? , it has bearing races fitted with metal dust covers, has anyone seen this before ? I presume its just so the sleeve will rotate more freely.


The light even works ! I will be giving it a strip down and paint at some point but at least its ot too bad to start with overall. I will just have to look out for other fittments or make them as needed.


  Cheers Mick.
