    Restoring an old German bench grinder that I thought will be an easy fix and a coat of paint and it turned out to be a hundred little things that needed attention.
    Since the bench grinder was already working I did not do much on the mechanical side, but the wiring was in poor shape and needed a complete overhaul.

    14:36 The 4-digit postal code (5630 Remscheid) at least dates it to before 1993. That was the year when Germany introduced 5-digit postal codes after reunification in 1990.
    Wabeco / Walter Blombach GmbH still seem to exist, now at 42899 Remscheid.

    • @TheSmallWorkshop
      @TheSmallWorkshop  10 місяців тому +2

      They are wire ferrules and the tool is a crimper for them. The tool comes in square or hexagonal shape, I prefer the hexagonal one as it crimps them more evenly.

    Nice old bench grinder, but too bad the stone still wobbles. There must be a way to fix that.

    • @TheSmallWorkshop
      @TheSmallWorkshop  10 місяців тому

      Stone can be dressed and the wobble will be gone. The axle doesn't wobble, I've had it on the lathe and it's perfectly straight, so the wobble is from manufacturing error of the stone, quite normal for grinding stones to wobble and need dressing.

    To answer your question: Yes, it looks a lot like "German engineering" to me. Namely according to "old school engineering". The proof? Despite decades of abuse and neglect, the device starts up right away, even though it doesn't even have a decent cord.
    I can judge that, I am an old German myself. ;0)

    • @TheSmallWorkshop

      I'm gonna dress the wheel and the wobble will be gone. If the original stone woud've not been fractured I woud've kept it and dress it.

    Nice restoration until the end. I've never seen an electrical grinder with a water tray attached to it before. I wonder why?. Initially, it sounds like it could be useful but then you think - hold on, water, splashes and dribbles, mains power electricity, metal tools. No thanks - call me an old fusspot but I tend to prefer it when my heart is beating.
