90 Year Old Bench Grinder ~ RESTORATION ~ How did this one SURVIVE the WWII Scrap Yard?

This bench grinder was made in the 1930’s and somehow survived the mass amount of metal scrapping being done during World War II! I was told that there was NO way I could get it to run again! Let’s see if we can prove them WRONG!
This is a Sioux Ball Bearing Grinder made by Albertson & Company Inc. in Sioux City, Iowa here in the good ol USA!
I believe the switch went bad, so I replaced that. I also replaced the bearings to it'll run smooth for YEARS to come!!
I hope you enjoy!

The reveal at the end when the before and after pictures appear side by side. Often the transformation is truly shocking.

In the modern world where everything is disposable, it's nice to see old "stuff" brought back to life. Watching your videos also gives me a bit more confidence to tackle resto projects for myself. Keep up the good work / great content

This made my day! My dad worked at Sioux Tools for 35 years as a machinist and eventually an engineer. I worked there myself during college in the summers. Thanks for the great video!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

That is absolutely AWESOME!! If you had any old pictures or other tools from Sioux I would love to see them!! My email is in the about section of my channel! I also have a Sioux valve face grinder and a valve seat grinder that I plan to restore at some point! I'll probably start with the valve seat grinder! I appreciate you commenting, and letting me know your history with the company!

[@arturopacheco89]

Nice. I picked up a Sioux "sander" (angle grinder) a few days ago. Still works. I would like to restore it tho. I am not sure what year it is. But it is listed in this catalogue that was printed in 1962. I believe they kept that exact same design through the '80s. Here's a link for the catalogue. The grinder you restored is also listed on page 34. archive.org/details/SiouxAirAndElectricToolsCatalogNo62

[@stephenkent8903]

I understand the joy you had seeing an old tool restored from the company your dad worked at. I feel the same way when I see any of the You Tubers find a vintage or antique H.K. Porter bolt or tree limb cutter made in Boston, Mass. My dad also was a machinist and worked there for 20years. So if I see any H.K.Porter tool made there I can't pass it up and buy them and restore them as best as I can. I have a few, if you call 17 a few! I'm glad your dad made this grinder!

It’s hard to pin it down. Is it the hunt? Then the tearing apart, cleaning, prepping and then the reassemble with fresh parts and paint. Man ya can’t beat that feeling with all the braggin rights? It’s so encompassing !!!

another 90 years of work left in it. Gloves, rings, jewelry, are prime targets for machinery.. I like restoration videos because I restore items and I get new ideas on how to fix things..

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I totally agree! it helps to see how other people overcome issues when restoring and building things! The only issue when using wire wheels on an angle grinder is that the wires fly off and can lodge in your hands, I've had it happen. I want to find some safe gloves to help prevent that, clearly those were not the right ones! lol.

[@wetdedstuocm]

Maybe a tight fitting pair of leather with NO wrist straps, or a pair of welders gloves, and I know what you mean by sticking you..LOL

[@SalvageWorkshop]

@@wetdedstuocm Not a bad thought! No wrist is a good idea, and mig welding gloves would give me the control I want but still have protection! I recently had a wire lodge so deep in my middle finger that I couldn't get it out of the bone... That the only reason I was wearing gloves during this project! Thanks for the suggestions!

I need to replace the bearing's in My 1950's grinder and paint it up it's better than one cheap one I use know and built better too. Great job saving it from being scrapped.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

It wasn't too bad replacing them! That's about the only thing it needed, just be careful the wiring can be a bit fragile! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!

[@RuneTheFirst]

When hammering bearings into place as shown DO NOT use a socket or tube that contacts the outside race. This can put tremendous stress on the actual balls in the bearing and can damage the races/balls. Use a smaller tube/socket and drive down the inner race. (Reverse if forcing a bearing into a recessed place like the housing.)

[@brianrust5275]

[@AaronBelknap]

What appeals to me? I like that you take an old tool, working or not and restore to original condition. I like that you save the original labels, albeit a metal plate, a sticker etc. I like the repaint, even though it may not be original color. Then, when it's done, you plug it in, presto! Or, an old tool that doesn't require power, such as your anvil, it looks good as new and ready for service. I just love restored tools. If you get a chance, check out Scoutcrafter, he restores old tools and is quite good. Mostly hand tools. Awesome job on that old grinder, rewire to make it safe and truing up that old grinding stone.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

I totally agree! It's fun watching the transformation! The videos I see where they don't show the use of the tool at the end are a bit of a let down! That's why I always like to show different ways to use tools or something! I have seen MANY of his videos, and he does a great job!

[@diyresttube]

nice restoration..

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

Good restoration, well done. These were quality built machines and this grinder is ready for another 90 years service. Just two pointers, its good to chase old, rusty threads and the straightness of the armature shaft should be tested with a gauge. The machine will run very smoothly and silently if the shaft is straight.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Much appreciated! I'm sure those things wouldnt hurt, but the average guy probably can't check the straightness of the armature. I'll bet this one is straighter than 80% of all grinders you can buy new today! Thank you for watching and commenting! Lots more to come!

Tony YT; agreed. I use a heat gun for shrink tube. Mine is made by Warner, and I bought it at Lowe's.

Lol... I've always used a lighter because it's easier to control where the heat is located. I'm sure there are better heat guns for this task, but my heat gun is large and will heat up everything anywhere remotely close to where i need to shrink the tubing.

Certainly found this very absorbing to watch. We have guys restoring machines to send to Africa: you’ll be a real asset, and you would get a lot of machines to do, which would otherwise be scrapped! But I used to tell youngsters not to lay their finger along a hammer’s handle, because they will eventually damage the joint: it’s permanently painful. I was also taught not to present tools to the stone pointing downwards, as with loose wheels.
