Neat!
Might make good office decor!

I may throw a bid on this one.

Hmmmm...wonder what pond bottom that was dug outta ?

The name plate looks old, but otherwise it looks pretty much the same as a 1960s "Single Lip Cutter Grinder".
What a mess! How could it end up like that?
I have an operators hand book for a 'SO' Deckel grinder, but I think that the one we had was made by Alexander? Not sure now...

Maybe it was recovered from a sunken U-boat? And Sean, might be nothing left after you get rid of the rust. You can tell from the tags he wire brushed the heck out of it.

ya, but think how nice it would make everything *else* in my shop look!

Actually Les, unlike you, I don't have any clientel. Maybe you should buy it and fit it with like... a DRO and some lasers and such.
LOL! Man, you'd get a constant kick out watching your customers faces!

or...
Hmmm....
Maybe we could have the admin here substitute that pic for the standard PM logo on the Deckel forum.

Oh, soooo many uses for such a machine
