Old Bench Grinder Restoration

This old french made bench grinder was in my grandfather's garage for a long time.
The electric connections started to fail so I decided to repair it. I also used this opportunity check the bearings, derust, and repaint it. this is not really a fancy restoration but more a practical one :)

That's a really interesting looking grinder. Never seen one that shape.

I love restoring tools, will be doing videos of them soon.

Invest in a heat gun to use on Shrink tubing.

Needs a total repaint though, and the screws and lid needed some hammering and some screws replaced. It works though, so that's good.

reapinting is not needed. Metal have such a beautifull looking without paint...

@@juliencattrat3116 It looks ugly. If you like it ugly that's fine, but don't dare call it by any other name.

[@TheClblflame79]

Very nice job! It is a tool that looks like it has been used and ready to keep working.

[@markharris5771]

Another great restoration, it certainly looks powerful enough.

[@acurarl9929]

Why not just sand blast everything rather then all that ha d scrubbing

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

I'm planning to use one on future projects :)

[@acurarl9929]

Oh oh. I thought you had used one in previous video but must been a different channel before yours.

[@forgottentoolsrestoration1786]

I tested one on the lantern video, but the grinder video is older :)

[@rayjr62]

Not everyone owns a sand blaster. They are expensive.

[@juliencattrat3116]

@@rayjr62 And the result is not as good as brushing, specialy when u don't want to repaint

Kinda clumsy looking keep practicing I guess

[@michelvidal7666]

Cache en tôle non redressé, interrupteur non nettoyé, peinture grise mieux que "l'orientale" d'origine mais pas très réussie, câble blanc incongru (Mettre un gris ou un noir...), visserie non remplacée, une paire de pinces ce n'est pas un chasse-goupilles, etc... etc...

[@jige8191]

Je connaissais déjà les "moustachus" intégristes du boulon d'origine dans le milieu de la vespa ancienne qui nous les brisent quand le gicleur principal n'est pas celui qui a été monté en usine, je découvre à présent les défenseurs des règles de l'art de la restauration d'outillages.

[@peebee143]

I suspect that the switch is a start / run combined switch. When the two parts of the switch are down it goes through the start circuit (obviating the need for a capacitor), when the top part of the switch is released the circuit changes over to the run circuit to spin up to full speed.
