New-to-me MTI Qualos surface grinder

[Dr Stan]

One of the things people tend to forget regarding surface grinding is the power of the mag to straighten warped/bent work.  One can place a thin (1/4" or less) part on the magnet.  Grind it, flip it over & repeat.  Then put it on a granite inspection block and discover they made rockers for a rocking chair.  

If you do not have a toolmakers vise I highly recommend getting or making one if you plan to do much precision work with the surface grinder.
