Don't overlook those antique malls for tools

Buddy had a 1.5HP 3 phase industrial grinder he liberated from a closed Aerospace plant, talk about torque! It had a magnetic relay power switch.....CLUNK! My generic 1/3 horse grinder is a joke, I have to chuck a grinding stone on one side for a flywheel to run a buffer wheel on the other to polish metal, but my 3/4hp HF buffer kicks ***. Old stuff is usually better than the new, I like old brass desk fans.
