I finally got around to wiring her up and flicking the switch. Nice and quiet, which is always a good sign. Now that I know that the motor and bearing are good, I decided to spring for a magnetic chuck. Local supplier has a 6" x 18" chuck listed at $660 (down from $990) ex. Sydney. I told them that I wasn't going to pay for them to freight it over and after checking with his boss, he agreed.
It is more than I wanted to pay but considering I got the grinder for $150, I guess I cannot complain too much. I will still come out well ahead of what I have seen similar machines, with chucks go for.
Next I will have to get a diamond dresser and a wheel!
